I've had similar problems with trying to use VNC thru a vpn with ZA running on my PC at home. What I think I finally did was add both the external ip address of my work firewall and the internal address of my work pc to the 'local' ip list in ZA. I believe this cured the problem (although I'm not really sure why...) Since you're behind a router, this isn't an additional security risk as long as you've got your router buttoned down. If you were running ZA alone, with no router, then I would be a little more hesitant to do this... -Gary -------Original Message------- I already have my work PC and the VPN portal in my tursted zone in ZoneAlarm. In playing with it yesterday I determined that I only have to drop the ZA internet security from High to Medium for the VNC connection to work. Once logged in I can set it back to High. I also have checked the advanced setting to allow uncommon protocols (I think that's what it is), a suggestion I saw somewhere. -- Jerry _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
