Problem here is that the applet will be served through the proxy connection, but and a BIG BUT, the rfb (vnc) connection still does a direct connection. There are versions of vnc that will communicate through a proxy, don't have a list handy though.

My home firewall (ZoneAlarm) stops pings. I gave the VCN server Server rights when I installed it so it should be able to access any port. I also tried to telnet to port 5900. It simply says: "Could not open a connection to host: Connect failed" When I try to connect using the vncviewer, it says: "Failed to connect to server" I am fairly certain that the viewer will not connect because it can not directly access the port through the proxy server. I was hoping that a Web based client would work, as it is configured to work through the proxy server. >From: "William Hooper" >To: >Subject: RE: Screen Resolution in Windows? - UnknownHostException >Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2002 12:29:40 -0500 > > >----Original Message----- > >From: Scott A.
