I'm trying to set-up realVNC on my PC at home so I can access outlook and stuff when I'm away but I can't seem to get the client to connect properly.

It connects properly and runs if I use the local IP of my computer but not if I use the external IP of my network.

I've setup port forwarding for ports 5500 5800 and 5900 on my router. I;ve also set up a no-ip account so I can just type that into the browser/client prog and get to my computer.

Is there anything else I need to do 'cos it's still not working.
