Thanks. I actually solved it a few minutes ago. Don't have a high-speed line here - so I tested it on dialup...
This is what occurred- W2k machine dials into an ISP. After connected - activates the Netscreen VPN. User can now browse the network. (Sometimes it appears as if the authentication does not fully work - and the user is unable to browse. If I deactivate the VPN and then reactivate it - that issue goes away) >From a w2k machine on the domain - I cannot ping and resolve the machine name that is dialed-in. Wait about a minute - try again - ping resolves to the correct IP (the one assigned by the ISP). Try to activate the VCN - works fine (albeit very slow). Tonight I will try running from a DSL line in and see if someone in the office can reach my desktop. Then I guess I just try the reverse - and reach the NT4 servers and the w2k servers. Thanks for the help! PS- we ave aDMZ and internal seperated that currently only allows very limted items (i.e. mail and outgoing web requests) to pass thru. I assume to use VCN to reach the DMZ machines I need to open an appropriate port then the communication should work? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Jacob Hoover Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 2:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: VNC Won't work in NT! If that is the case i think it would be SP5. I have vnc working on several NT4 Wks machines without a problem, but I upgraded to SP6a. If it's a problem with the viewer not being able to connect to the Win2K machine, you should check the Win2K firewall settings, after you have verified the existance of TCP/IP on the NT4 machine.

There are some issues with SP5 ( or was it SP6, its been a while so i cant remmber ) for NT4 as it messes with the IP Stack and in my case made it impossible to use VNC. I never did get it working with that service pack before i ended up upgrading to Win2k Pro on the workstations. I just ran the older SP until each machine was upgraded. I didnt *need* that level of service pack anyway.. >----- Original Message ----- >From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Sunday, August 25, 2002 4:40 PM >Subject: VNC Won't work in NT! >[snip] > > I only want to use the VNC to "see" my two computers > on my local LAN.
