VNC Server on Windows 2000 and Watchguard VPN Problems

2002-02-15 Thread Kelan Birnbaum
I use a VPN client to access the corporate LAN from home. The VPN is a Watchguard Firebox (not sure which version). On the internal corporate LAN, I have VNC 3.3.3r9 installed on a WinNT Workstation and on a Windows 2000 Pro box. Internally, I can access both machines via the vncviewer, no prob

Thanks for everyone's help. I had someone else try at a different company to get to the home PC and they were able to get connected via the Java viewer. The ports must be blocked at my company... Thanks again, Nick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/15/2002 10:34 AM Pleas

I would say that your corporate firewall is blocking port 5900. You may want to ask your MIS department. Otherwise you could set up your router to foreward all incoming requests to one particular PC with the vncserver running. You then could do a port scan from your work PC to your home

I forget to add this to my last email... If I type "http://:5800" into a web browser, I do get my VNC login screen. If I type in "http://:5900", I get that RFB message. If the router wasn't setup to route the ports to the computer, then how would it be able to display the login screen and th

On a Win2k computer at work I do the following: 1. Type "telnet :5900" at a command prompt 2. I get the error "Could not open a connection to host: Connect failed" 3. If I just type "telnet ", our corporate firewall asks me to authenticate, which I successfully do 4. I then get the error "C

Can you telnet to port 5900, and get the RFB 003.003 response? If not, then the port is not available for the viewer to communicate with. If you can, then I'm at a loss. Rich -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 February 2002 14:45 To: [EMAIL P

I've now got both ports 5800 and 5900 forwarding (on my router) to the Win2k machine I'm trying to connect to. I just read that the Java client doesn't work when behind a web proxy (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/faq.html#q18). That explains why I still can't get connected via java clien

Hi all, I'm running VNC as a service as a customer site (Win NT 4.5 LAN with MS SBS 4) and would like to dial in to check on their server. Last week I had trouble dialing in and sure enough when I went to the site to check it out, there was a Win NT Dr. Watson error saying that WinVNC.exe had fail
