Thanks Arthur,
I will definitely try it at a friend's place tonite.
Another member suggested I try Hamachi (http://www.hamachi.cc) but it
didn't connect to their servers from the install at work. So I'm
wondering about redirecting VNC thru a port I know works, ie; 21, 3389,
80, etc.

Bill,
Very nice job in the explanation of what you've already tried. I really
wish everyone was as thorough as you were in their first email.
I can't see anything wrong with what you've done. In fact, you've even
tested to make sure that your VNC servers are accessible from outside of
your router. One further test that I would attempt would be to go to a
friend's house (where you know there's no massive security concern and
firewalling) and attempt to connect from there. I'll stick neck out and
predict you'll have no trouble.
My guess is that your employer has outgoing filtering enabled and it may be
very difficult to circumvent. It would be also prudent to point out that
your employer may not appreciate you doing anything to try to circumvent
their IT security.
Regards,
Arthur

Subject: Re: Router Settings
Just joined the group & am setting up VNC so my wife & I can log into our
home PCs from work. But I'm having a similar problem as Rob.
The equipment on the home network looks like this:
Broadband cable modem - Motorola VOIP router - Netgear FVS318 - 3 PCs
It's setup like this so the Motorola can handle VOIP quality assurance.
The Motorola also handles DHCP. The two PCs we need to connect to are setup
with a static IP.
Both the Motorola & the Netgear have ports forwarded:
3389, 5800 & 5900 forwarded to static IP of PC1
5801 & 5901 forwarded to static IP of PC2
Both PCs are running WinXP Pro SP2 & I've put in firewall exceptions for
WinVNC4.exe & ports 5800, 5900, 5801 & 5901.
I'm running DynDNS & the client is updated from the Netgear.
The network has been setup like this for over 2 yrs. and has worked well for
everything we've tried. VOIP, DVR recording TV programing, VPN access to
multiple work networks, and Remote Desktop access back to PC1 (hence the
port 3389 being forwarded to PC1).
So I'd like to setup remote access to 2 PCs (PC1 & PC2) & thought the VNC
java viewer would do the trick. We both work for companies that have rather
large secure networks so I figured the likelihood of being able to use a
java viewer was pretty good. Is it likely to expect ports like 5800 or 5900
to be open in a large corporate network?
The problem is when I try to connect via the VNC Viewer, I get the infamous
"Unable to connect to host: connection refused (10061)" error.
The address I'm using is the DynDNS domain name, domain.homeip.net:5900 or
domain.homeip.net:5901.
And if I try using Internet Explorer, I get the "Page cannot be displayed"
error. The address I'm using is the DynDNS domain name,
http://domain.homeip.net:5800 or http://domain.homeip.net:5801.
I can use VNC to connect to the various PCs within the network without any
issues at all. And when I run the script on http://gotomyvnc.com, it tells
me that 5900 & 5901 are working, but I still can't connect.
Checking you out at IP address "xx.xx.xxx.xx"...
xx.xx.xxx.xx is accepting connections on Display 0 (TCP port 5900).
xx.xx.xxx.xx is accepting connections on Display 1 (TCP port 5901).
xx.xx.xxx.xx is not responding on Display 2.
............................
Scan of "xx.xx.xxx.xx" is complete.
Hit 'reload' or 'refresh' in your browser to scan again.
Sorry about the length of this email. Hope I've outlined things well enough
that someone can make a recommendation as to what my next step is.
Thanks for your time.
