2. Step out of home (may be a few miles and YES 'm in the 3G coverage area) and 
the connection fails.
3.

Version: 0.4.7

Which VNC server/version are you using?  On which platform?
TightVNC 2.0.2 on WinXP

1920x1080...)?
1024x768

What device are you using?

Please provide any additional information below.
I don't have wireless switched on in the Droid, but 'm able to connect to my PC 
when 'm home (or close to the PC) over the 3G, but when 'm out of home and try 
to access the PC (Yes its ON and I can access it through another PC) I get the 
error message: "VNC Connection Failed". 

Any way this can be fixed!?

When connecting over 3g instead of wifi, you need to use your pc's public 
internet address.

Hi! I am using the PC's public internet address (something like 29.1.151.x) to 
access from my Droid. I have port-forwarding and everything setup in the 
correct order and I can access my PC from a remote location through another 
computer with that IP and port setting but not through my Droid over 3G. 

And even when 'm home, I don't have my WiFi enabled, but it connects to my PC 
over 3G.
