I'm able to connect to the server with my powerbook, so I know the server is working.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
Are you using the built-in remote desktop/VNC in Tiger? I haven't tried that one, but I am using OSXvnc, and am able to connect with the 770 perfectly. I have been able to access this server software from pretty much any of my machines, even my Treo 650, without any problems...all I did was load the app, click "start server", and I am up and running on the 770

The only thing I had to do originally was enable forwarding for port 5900 on my Linksys router...did you try enabling that port on your router?
