Our location has XP on machines in a lab that is set off by a separate firewall, and also the XPs are configured (and this cannot change) to turn off certain things like MS remote desktop and it turns off other internal firewall program settings and ports.
None of these settings or setup can change due to security policy. Nor can I experiment with any to see what would work. I am running vnc server on this XP, and from machines outside this lab, where I am, when I use vncserver, I do get the prompt for password, and the vnc window appears for 1-2 seconds, then goes away, with the message vncviewer: VNC server closed connection Rarely, if I click somewhere in this window while it is up, I can actually operate in it for maybe a minute, and then it goes away as before. I've changed the display port number, using 8080 or 80 or various others, and that does not seem to be the problem, as I always get the prompt for the password and the XP vnc window always comes up for those one or two seconds. And same thing happens when I attempt to connect via browser, except the message in browser window when vnc window goes away is java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer. I'm not aware of any other ports that vnc uses that would have an effect on all this or that I might need to change. What I'd like to know is what is happening that allows the connection at all, and then what happens that causes it to go away ? I realize I've not given a lot of information as to the details of the lab firewall or the specifics of what all is turned off in the XP since I don't know.
