Using VNC to access computers over an ADSL internet connection

1. Download and install the VNC server on the client Comp (comp which needs to be accessed) and VNC Server+ Viewer on the server comp (comp from which you will access).

2. On the client comp , open the port 5900 (TCP/IP) from the ADSL modem page, which is generally at 192.168.1.1/main.html.

3. Open VNC Viewer in the Server Comp. Make sure VNC server is not running (This might or might not affect the performance, so better let it remain closed).

4. In the server address box type the external IP for the client comp along with the port number.(The external IP could be found by going to sites like http://www.whatismyip.com)

for eg : 122.1.1.1:5900

press OK. and you are done.
