You will end up with the same problems. It follows the same logic if you run a web server on your machine could i get to it from the Internet, prolly not unless you had a port forward and apropriate firewall rules.
Do you have VPN at work? With a vpn connection into work you may be able to vnc or RD to your machine. THe other options are more difficult and involve setting up some tunneling and other such network trickery. --Angelo On Thu, 24 Feb 2005 12:16:32 -0500, David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a question about firewall configuration for VNC and Remote Desktop... > > I use Windows Remote Desktop but have not been able to use it through my > company's firewall.
