By "fails" I'm assuming you get no connection at all - no password prompt,
no nothing.  In that case, it sounds like a possible firewall issue - not
all WAN destination network points are set up to pass VNC traffic (port 5900
if you're using the Viewer, 5900 and 5800 if you're trying to use the Java
client).

Subject: WinVNC (98SR2) over a WAN...


Hello VNC-People!  :-)

I'm running WinVNC over a corporate LAN which is connected to 6 remote WANs.
When I run WinVNC, I can connect over the LAN beautifully.  Yet, when I try
to connect over the WAN, it fails.

My machine is Win98SR2, and the client machines are all Win98.  I'm running
a DHCP server on the LAN and static IPs on the WAN.  I have my gateway and
my WINS all configured properly, but I still can't figure out what the
problem is.  Also, my computer is set to a static IP address if that helps.

If anyone has any ideas, or if you need more information, let me know.  I'm
at a loss here, I can't figure it out.

Thanks!
