Which ports must be open für ScreenSharing?
Hello!
Since my ISP-change a couple of months before I am not able to use the screensharing-app anymore.
I try to connect (via CMD+K from Finder and then "vnc://îp_number") but after trying a couple of minutes I get an error message from the screen-sharing-app saying that the connection wasn't possible.
I've tried to connect to different Macs using different versions of OS X (Yosemite, Mavericks and even a PowerPC - Mac Mini running 10.5.8), all of them set to enable screen-sharing-connections - with no success! :-(
So I came to the conclusion that my router (a VDSL-router from Telekom) must block the ports necessary for screen-sharing, because it did something similar blocking the ports for VPN - normally open on an Airport Extreme!
Sadly I cannot use the Airport Extreme with VDSL, so I am not even able to check if my presumption is true :-(
However I know how to switch the ports on and off, so now I "only" need to know WHITCH ports are needed for screensharing to work.
Could anybody help me with this information?
Thank you!

Vlad
