You've granted VNC server and Viewer to all the computer? What does that mean?

 

[benzgc]

In the windows firewall I have allowed VNC access.

Did you forward the correct ports on your linksys router?

 

[benzgc]

For local network connecting from one machine to another do I still have to forward the ports? What I am getting is at the bottom when I highlight the VNC icon I get several ip address's and none of the work they time out.

Do you have the Windows XP firewall enabled? Perhaps its blocking the port.

 

[benzgc]

No the windows firewall is not enabled. Mcafee firewall is enabled.

Is it blocking the VNC port (5900 by default)?
