Can you access port 22? If so, run an SSH server (it's available for Windows as well as *nix) and use SSH (PuTTY) to tunnel from your desktop at home to the office desktop. Or use something like STunnel. For one thing, that should bypass the firewall and for another, it's more secure anyway!

My office has firewall in its gw (to which i dont have access)with only specific ports open. Assume that port X is open. Till last week, i run my VNC server in port X and iam able to connect the vnc server (running in my office Linux box) from my home. But from last week iam unable to connect my home system to my office linux box. To test whether the port X is open, i put my ftp server to port X and tried accessing from home. I was able to access it (which means port X is open). Can anyone please suggest me why iam able to access my ftp server thru port X and not my VNC Regards Dev __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage.
