[RndTbl] Mac VNC

[Bill Reid]

Is your Mom's computer connected directly to the cable modem or is it connected 
to a router? It sounds like it is connected to a router since the cable modem 
will hand out routeable IP addresses. If it is connected to a router then you 
have to make sure the router will pass the VNC port to the Mac.
