Setting Up VNC on Android?

[OrbitzXT]

I downloaded something called tight Vnc on my computer at home which is the hosting server thingy (Im screwed as you can see). Anyway, while my phone was connected to my home network I had no trouble connecting my phone to my PC using the router address 192.168.1.4, now when I turn wifi off on my phone, neither my actual IP found from a website or the router address are working.

Port 5900 is forwarded, firewalls are off, Im not sure what Im doing wrong and why I cant connect. Any thoughts? Im away from home right now but the server file is still running, so Im hoping there is something I can do on my phones end to connect.

Edit: Just to be more clear, it hangs on Establishing handshake for about a minute then says VNC connection failed.

its a port issue for sure. you're either connecting to the wrong port, or have shared the wrong port.

I wrote down my home pcs IP, is there a way from my office if I can make sure 5900 is open or not?

Yep, remote login to the router if its enabled. im fairly certain the default port for VNC is 5800......



also you dont need to port forward if your connecting inside the network, only from outside... thats why the phone worked when you connected to the wifi inside your home.

if you turn wifi off that means you do not have an IP to connect to. wifi is a different protocol than 4g or whatever your phone normally uses to surf the net and make phone calls.
