You are on the right track, you need to enable the single port option and then change the port to 80. On your firewall you will need to forward port 80 to your home machine.
HOWEVER: Many corp firewalls/proxies do more than just check port numbers, sometimes they also scan the contents of the traffic, meaning that if it doesn't look like HTTP then it will fail. One possible alternative to this is to try Port 443 instead of 80. This is the Secure web site traffic port and will likely pass through most proxies. If this is not the case then you might not want to persue this. Corporate IT departments have standards for a reason, it may not be wise to violate them. --Angelo On Sat, 22 Jan 2005 14:18:39 -0500, Greg Balajewicz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello everybody! > > I am trying to setup vnc server (enterprise edition) so that I can connect > to home from my office. > > I wanted to ask you guys if this is at all possible in my case because I > tried different things and nothing seems to work.
