Not being funny but... did you actually check the server is still
running? >_>
(as you don't mention that anywhere)
Also are you sure that the IP of the connection at work didn't change?
Maybe if you're pinging a domain name (pointing to the right IP) but
trying to VNC to an old IP address...
Also um, if you could describe the way your connection at work is set
up, that would be rather helpful.

James

Subject: HELP! Was able to connect, then sudden UNable to connect to
server!
We recently wiped our PC at work, and installed Win2k-pro. Our
TechAdmin
also set up WinVNC to allow me to work from home on off-days. This was
great!
It worked a treat!
Then, suddenly, it became impossible to connect in from home. It
wasn't
even asking for a password, simply saying "unable to connect to a
server".
I immediately thought "It must be a prob with my home PC" so I
tested by
installing WinVNC on my home fileserver, linked in fine, operated the
machine
fine, log out fine - repeated daily for over 2 weeks without a hitch.
Then
asked a mate to install the server and viewer and we took control of
each
other's PCs to test those possibilities, all checked out fine again.
Process of elimination, it was an issue with the work PC. Opened all
firewalls, still no connect. Unlocked all ports, still no connect. I am
getting quite strung out by this, as it has become an important part of
our
future expansion plans to have a reasonably consistant connection to the
work
server.
Cheers to one and all, and I thank you in anticipation of some kind
soul
helping me out here.
