[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1293512, member: 182015"] The info you've given us isn't all we need. Is the server/target Mac directly connected to the internet (have its own internet IP), or is it connected to a router, so it has a local IP address? Local IP addresses start with 192.168, or 10.0 or 172. If the Mac is connected through a router to a local IP address, you will need to open the port number for VNC - usually 5900 - on the router. In router manuals this is usually called Port Forwarding. You set this up in the router web admin pages - any requests to port 5900 will be sent to the local IP address that is set to receive them.
