This could be because you are using a Local only account and all 3 use international bandwidth?
 
actually Vnc does not need International. But you do need to setup port forwarding on your router for it to work.
 
tight vnc

i already set up port forwarding for vnc but that also doesnt work

all the issues start when you connect to local isp (some routing changes or something)


is there no other way?

But don't you need to use Dynamic DNS and VNC for it to work?
Dynamic DNS will use international

dyndns updates from the router (int bandwith)

iam going to try dyndns.co.za and then setup dyndns client on local pc and see what it does
 
I would assume that the dyndns is installed on the PC that has the international account which would be fine.
When you are on the laptop connected to the local account can you ping the dyndns address of the home PC?
Have you tried doing a traceroute?

dyndns updates from router (int) and then i connect through remote desktop with dyndns adress to pc but it will only work when local account wasnt dialed

Yeah , it's because the Local account can't acesses the DYNDNS name because it is international.
Give the local dyndns a try could work.
 
ok well i got it working

i went and registered an account with

www.activedns.co.za and then downloaded their update tool and now i can connect with tightvnc and remote desktop

and it cost R10 a month to get that local dyndns :)
