Vnc

How can I connect to a person's VNC server if he (the person) doesn't have a static IP address?

Know the ip address he's using at the time...

I tried that but it doesn't seem to work... Should it? Maybe it's a firewall problem. What port does VNC operate on? Would it work if the server uses a DynIP thing (replaces dynamic IP by a whatever.dynip.com which when pointed to it, points to your current IP).

the firewall can be your problem.. or you will have to open up ports 5900 and 5800 on bother user.. have the one running the "server" turn off firewall and run the "user-mode" not "service".. then it should show an ip when they hover their mouse over the icon in system task tray.. the "viewer" then type in that ip and the password..

try that

Are those UDP ports or TCP/IP? I don't know how to differenciate UDP and TCP/IP ports...

when you try to connect to the computer, the firewall (well, most firewalls) on there computer should ask for permission to allow access tot he program.

and there TCP/IP belive
