Well I understand that the Private IP is for within the network, but that's not how I want to connect to my home computer. I want to connect to my home computer from work.I've tried the "Test page" IP, but it says "connection timed out". I just thought of something else though, at work, my computer is hooked up through a network, would that have anything to do with this not working? Thanks so much for the help.Also, I turned off my Windows Firewall and I still can't seem to connect on the VNC test page.

Hi, I have a router at home and I installed RealVNC on it. At first, my IP address (the one that showed up when I hovered my mouse over the RealVNC icon in the system try) was different than IP address that came up when I ran the "VNC server test page".So like the documentation said on the RealVNC website, I setup port forwarding on my router and tried again but I still have two different IP addresses on my computer at home. I tried both IPs but the viewer keeps giving me the same error message every time I try to connect "unable to connect to host: Connection timed out (10060)".Can anybody give this newbie a hand with how to get this to work? Thanks.
