The proxy is the problem. Most proxies just talk HTTP (and/or FTP). This will not work because VNC doesn't use either of these protocols. > I've been told that the VNC server can send and receive its > RFB packets > through port 80, which presumably would allow the VNC client > to go through > the proxy. [snip] Running on port 80 might get you past a firewall, but not a proxy. You can try an HTTP tunneling program, but considering you don't have the support of the Network Admin be prepared to deal with the consequences of trying to by-pass their network policy. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
