Romain:
Heya. First off, don't worry about ping's not getting
thru: it's not unusual for an ISP to block those. If you can
access your home-PC from work via HTTP or FTP, you're 90 percent
of the way to VNC'ing.
Try this: from your home-PC, open a browser to
"www.GoToMyVNC.com" and run the test there. I suspect you'll
find that your ZoneAlarm firewall is blocking the incoming
connection attempt.
As for your office-PC, it sounds as if it's behind a
firewall that you do not have administrative access to. There's
a lot of threads in the email archives discussing ways to get
around this "problem", though none of them are as easy as simply
asking your IT guys at your office to enable some form of secure
remote access for you.
Good luck!
