Belkin N1 - Port issue

[stuaz]

Ok, here is the story -

I had a netgear router, which even though it worked perfectly it gave up on me and died soooo i went out and brought a Belkin N1 - because this would be my second Netgear i thought i would try a different make. soooo

I had the Netgear set up to portforward to allow Real VnC to work. I have 'no-ip' working on the desktop i am connecting to.

The only thing i am having issues with is getting VnC to connect. I can connect using my internal ip address from another computer, but if i use my domain name and/or ip address from a computer within my own network or from a computer outside it, it displays a message of 'connection refused'. I followed all the instructions on Real VnC and Port forward.com and believe i have it set up correctly.

I have also reinstalled the No-ip software.
I have a TCP and UDP port forwarding to my computer's internal ip address etc. Is there anything special with this type of router, cos obviously the interface is a slightly different set up to what I'm use to.

Any help would be most appreciated.!!

I have the same router and what you said seems to be fine. I can't see why your getting the problem.

EDIT: Have you manually set an internal ip address?

Kind of....lol

I have a http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=5680949
as my network card.
Don't ask why....lol

It basically fools windows into thinking it is connected to a 'wired' network rather than a wireless one...and the only way to set the ip is to do so via the installation software that comes with it.

Also when i do the DHCP list its extremely out of date in terms it says i have my mac connected which i turnt off about 2 days ago.....
