Hi I have a problem with the NIC mounted on board at this M/B. I
connect the PC in a network. When I try to connect from other PC to
that PC, using VNC Client, the PC not responding, but if I use an
external PCI NIC Card everything work perfectly.
Somebody can help me ?
Thank you everbody.
You tried the "ping" command, to try to reach the other computer ?
I bet VNC uses a particular port number, and you should look for
things that get in the way of servers. NAT (network address
translation) is one thing that prevents a server port from
being seen. Maybe there is firewall software, somewhere in
your configuration ? If there is a firewall, then you will
need to punch a hole, for the VNC port numbers to be available
on the server side of the setup.
If you can get ping to work, then chances are the hardware
is OK. But if you aren't familiar with all the software on
the systems, the problem could be tough to debug. Your
problem will be as much fun to fix, as trying to get a
server working from behind a home router.
If a computer has multiple network interfaces, but no routing
software, then only one of the network interfaces can be used
at a time. There is software like ICS (Internet Connection
Sharing), which I've never used, and that software should be
able to route packets, and allow more than one interface
to be used at a time. You still have to set it up properly,
as the computer cannot guess at what you want.
In short, if ping works, then you really need to examine the
networking protocol stack being used on each computer, as
well as any intervening switching/routing equipment.
