I've dealt with a few folks who've misconfigured their routers to the point that I see the same thing. In my experience, I've seen cases where someone will mistake (for example) a "External port" entry in the router config for "Starting port," so they enter "5800." Then they mistake "Internal port" for "Ending port," and enter 5900. Or some variant thereof. Assuming that your work PC is listening on 5900, can you verify with your IT people that they've opened up 5900 TCP to your system and not something like what I'm describing? _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
