Hello Paul.
Yes, you can connect to a pc remote (with vnc) and then connect from the
remote pc connect to another (also via vnc). This does work, and
usually very well.
Since usually you connect via a slow network connection to first pc, and
then with a fast connection to the second. Which is your case.
The problem you are having most probably does not have anything to do
with VNC. Are you using a VPN to connect to the first pc? Can you ping
the second pc when you rea remotetly connecte to the first?

An update;
I connect from my PC, over NTL broadband to the internet with a roaming
IP address. The server is permanently connected to a FIXED IP address via BT
Openworld and a Netgear DG814 Router. From the outside world, all I can see
of the remote network is the server that is running VNC. I have configured
the router such that it redirects the relevant VNC port numbers
accordingly....That's how I get it to work from outside the building. Surely
though, this does not factor into the equation once I want to run VNC again
from within the other building as no traffic should be coming directly back
out through the router?
The simple answer to your question is; From the outside I can only ping the
server that runs VNC (that's all the router allows me to do) - once inside,
from a DOS prompt on that server I can ping anything else inside the
building. I *cannot* ping any of the other machines directly from my PC,
which is outside of the building.
The "Slow" network would be my broadband connections: The "Fast" network
being the internal 100Mb LAN.

Hope this Joins the "message thread", and doesn't get posted as a new
message....I couldn't see how to reply!
