I cannot connect to my home Windows PC via VNC, and I also cannot ping it. On the other hand, traceroute from outside the network finds it OK. On the PC I see this kind of info from ipconfig /all:

When I SSH from the PC to a Solaris box outside of my home network, the Solaris box says I'm connecting from CPE-24-94-198-51.mn.res.rr.com (I changed that number just a bit, but you get the idea). Ping works to "localhost" or to 192.168.1.100 but not to 192.168.1.1 nor to CPE-24-94-198-51.mn.res.rr.com.

So I am stuck. I have Time-Warner cable modem and Linksys 54g wireless router (but I'm plugged into the router with an ethernet wire). I'm running Windows XP x64 (but I doubt that has anything to do with it).

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Mike
