This is not true. VNC does not care whether it is on a LAN, a dial-up network, or any other tcp-ip based communication system. VNC *will* work if there is any TCP-IP connection to the remote machine. If you cannot 'telnet' to the remote port, then it is more indicative that there is no specified route to that machine from the point that you were dialling up from.
What we need are more details. Is your 'office' machine directly connected to the Internet, or is it behind a NAT router? Can you 'ping' your office machine IP address when you are dialed up remotely? Is your remote 'Friend' accessing that machine across the Internet, or a company WAN? Please try to give as much information as you can to ensure that you will be given an accuate response.

Best's reply. I have asked for some help before. Yesterday I made a test in my office, The vncserver is still my office pc (win2000 pro), and the viewer is another pc(win98) in my office. Firstly, the viewer pc connect to the LAN via network card, the vncviewer can easily connect to the server. Secondly, I dial-up the viewer pc to the public Internet, it can't connect to the server, neither telnet to the server 5900 port. I check my dial-up connection property----"banding TCP/IP protocol". Thirdly, I asked my friend who is in another city connecting to my vncserver. He did successfully, and his computer(Win2000) connect to the LAN via network card. so draw a conclusion!*!*Winvnc can't be used on dial-up network!? why? it's not true in the vnc document. Who can explain that for me?
