I am also new to VNC so everything im saying could well be wrong but Ill try and help anyway :)

It appears you are tyring to put in your LAN ipaddress' 192.168.etc. As you are both in different cities I am assuming you are not on the same network thus you need to connect using your external ip address which can be gained from whatismyip.com.

The next step would be to port forward on your network a specific port to your machine (the port your VNC server is using) which is the port you configure both the server to use and the SC client to use next to your external ip.

The SC client I think makes a reverse connection so although your running the server you are the one who views his machine.

If you do not port forward it is unlikley to work outside your network if you are behind a router. So if you port forward and put your external ip address in the SC client then it should work as long as you also put the correct port.


Again this may be complete rubbish but its my undestanding of it, hope it helps! Let me know if it works.
