I've been trying to set up these two the past few days.

I'm using Filezilla server and VNC server.

I've done a lot of reading into setting up both of them but I still can't get either of them to work. They both work with the target computer and the client computer in the same network (using the local IP) but they don't work from a different network using the external IP.

Here's what I've done so far...

Filezilla

Installed the server with all default settings etc.
Forwarded ports: 14147, 5000-5100 and 21 (both UDP and TCP) from the router to my computer.
Told the server to use my external IP.
Added users (so that isn't the problem).
Added Filezilla server to the Windows Firewall exceptions list.
Added port 21 to the Windows Firewall exceptions list.

VNC

Installed the server with all the default settings etc.
Forwarded ports: 5900 and 5800 (both UDP and TCP) from the router to my computer.
Checked on the VNC server test page with this result (with my correct IP in place of the x's):

Test page wrote:
The IP address requesting this web page is xx.x.xx.xx (REMOTE_ADDR)
Connecting to port 5900 ... succeeded.
Waiting for server to send version string... failed: (113, 'No route to host')

Any help on either of these issues would be greatly appreciated and if you want anymore info just ask!

lol'd:

All i can suggest is double check that the IP setups on the computers are correct, and that you're forwading to the correct IP.

Also, check the DHCP table.. are IPs coming up? When i initially setup my linux machine to have a static local IP, it connected to the net ok, but the router didnt define it an IP (Yeah wtf)

I fixed this by tweaking that i can't really remember

If all else fails, hard reset the router by pressing the button at the back?

Just tryin to help

^{everything i write is a ramble and should not be taken seriously.... _{seriously. ♥}}

Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it

The obvious thing to do is to make sure the ports you forwarded are accessible.

I've got the ports working now (randomly) but instead of the connection being refused one of them is timing out...

edit: ok wtf. The site says they're accessible one minute but not the next! What's going on!

Try a different static IP. One that is out of the DHCP range. Usually they are 100's so try like .010-.099

Alternatively, look at the DHCP config page in the router and determine the range that way.
