If you have VOIP then you may have two routers like this. PC --- Router/Firewall --- VOIP Router --- Cable Modem --- Internet
The firewall and VOIP router could be one in the same but not always and if you don't have the ability to access the configuration of it you. Coming from the outside you may have something like this PC --- Company Router/Firewall --- internet The best way to start testing this is with another computer inside you home to see if the machine is setup correctly. Then when that works you can start trying to figure out the firewall holes. I would not leave the a hole in the firewall to do vnc. If you can establish a VPN to your home firewall via Windows PPTP then you should have no problems or security issues. On 5/26/06, Viswanath Karri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
