Ok see i did all that. The weird thing is that when i click properties the two passwords are there "Primary Password" and "View-Only Password" (on tightvnc) I change them both to a password with 7 characters....click apply...click ok and when i re-open the properties a second later, both passwords have 8 characters. My n800 acts like it is trying to connect because if i type a bogus password in the viewer it immediately says it cant connect but when i type my real ip address that i would use it takes about 15 seconds before the same cannot connect screen pops up. Would this have anything to do with the fact im on my schools internet???
