OK, please bear with me as my question requires a very long description. I am a unix system administrator for the US Government. At work I have 2 systems on my desk: a Gateway desktop and a Sun workstation. My problem is trying to connect to the Gateway. I have vnc installed on my Sun box and the Gateway. I can log into the Gateway from the Sun box and everything is just fine.
At home, however, I have issues. I have a Dell that I am trying to connect to the Gateway. I am using a LinkSys router with port forwarding sending all incoming port 5900 traffic directed to my Dell. We use Checkpoint for VPN at work. I have installed SecuRemote and am able to connect to my works LAN just fine. I can ping my Gateway and my Sun box and using putty I can log into my Sun Box. However, when I try to use VNC viewer to connect from my Dell, thorugh the VPN, to my Gateway, I get stuck. I am prompted for my username and password. Then the screen saver I have running on my Gateway shows up on my Dell. If I touch nothing at this point, the screensaver keeps going. But the moment I try to Send a Ctrl+Alt+Del, click with the mouose... anything, the screen dies and I am told: read: Connection reset by peer (10054) Do you wish to attempt to reconnect to <my IP address>:0? If I say Yes, I get The connection closed unexpectedly Do you wish to reconnect to <my IP address>:0? >From there if I say Yes, it just keeps repeating that message. Any thoughts? I am running XP on my Dell desktop and have tried doing this both with the Windows Firwewall on and off. I also have a rule setup in my LinkSys router forwarding VNC traffic to and from my Dell. Thanks for you help.
