I have a Mac mini set up as my server at home.

I can ftp and browse the web server from both mac or pc externally as am using dyndns to give me a dynamic ip.

However, I can not connect to my VNC on mac from windows. Am using Tiger's built in VNC on mac. Firewalls taken care of.

I have fowarded port: 5900 to my internal ip address; on my router. I have an ADSL router.

Works great externally using Chicken of the VNC on mac. Windows seems to have a problem. I have tried using real and tight vnc viewers both give me the same error on trying to connect.
"unable to connect to host: Connection timed out (10060)".

I will appreciate feedback on this.

Try setting the color level to full and see if that helps.
(I had a similar issue and this fixed it for me)
