Scott,
Thanks for the suggestion. But I don't have any settings like that.
I suspect the VPN is blocking the VNC to access the server. Is there any
way to find out if VPN is blocking it?
Thanks,
Sean Zhang

Sean:
Heya. Is it possible that the target VNC Server
is running with an AuthHosts setting? That is, it may be
setup to restrict connections from anything with an IP
address in a limited range; when you dialup you may be
given an address in this range.
You'll need to look in the VNC registry keys
to know for sure. Good luck!
