Greetings, This is probably a noob question, but I have been unsuccessful in searching archives for an answer. I'm trying to connect to my home pc from work via VNC. For testing purposes, I've left the ports as their defaults. I have disabled the windows firewall on the home pc where vnc server is running.
Like most offices, my company has a firewall that makes it impossible for me to even ping my home machine. So instead, I tried to connect to my vnc server via browser with http://<myip>:5800. This actually gives me some progress as the browser apparently connects to my home pc and brings up the VNC java prompt asking for connection details. But for some reason, I can't get past that java connection prompt. The default entry for server is <myip>:0. However, trying that results in a connection timeout. I've tried <myip>:1, <myip>:5900, <myip>:5901, <myip>:5800, <myip>:5801, but they're all the same. What would cause the browser to be able to connect to the vnc mini-webserver on my home PC but not be able to complete the full connection after that? I don't believe I forwarded port 5800 on my router at home, but since I'm already connecting to it, it seems like that wouldn't be it.
