I assume you mean that you have this setup: Lab Computer 1--- L1 Lab Computer 2--- L2 Home Computer --- HC (or somewhere off campus)
And you say you can connect to L1 from L2, but not from HC to L1. Is that correct? If so I'd bet that the lab computers have ports 5800 and 5900 blocked. You could see if the lab techs would forward them for ya, but I doubt it. Although 5800 is only needed if you are using Internet Explorer or the like to connect. Does that help or am I way off base? A good test may be to ping the ip address using 5900 (e.g. 100.2.300.400:5900) that probably wont ping if this is the case. Eric R.

Sorry for annoying anyone. Your help is very much appreciated. I stayed in the university campus and try to connect to a VNC server in my lab from my personal computer at my accommodation. It seems that the VNC viewer cannot find the server. I have tried using host name and host ip address, but it still failed. The strange thing is that, I can ping the server just fine. I can also use SSH to connect as well. I am sure the VNC server is running just fine, because I can connect to it from a different computer running VNC viewer in the same lab. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance. -Chris _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
