Networking with DG834

Mook · 9 Mar 2006 at 10:32

I might just be acting a bit dull here. So bear with me.

I have 3 pcs, all wired via a Netgear DG834. I want to use pc 1 to access pc 3, either via vnc or remote desktop. But for some reason they won't accept connections to each other. I know they can see each other because I can ping one from the other.

Please tell me i'm being dull and just missed something obvious. I cba to spend much more time trying to sort this out.
