-----Original Message----- From: van den Heever, Wouter Sent: 28 January 2003 07:48 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Firewall, proxy server etc. etc. Importance: High Sensitivity: Confidential Hi everybody, I am very, very new to VNC. I am currently using PC Anywhere to connect from home to my office PC. I read all the advice on configuring a firewall and a proxy server, at my office, to enable my PC at the office to serve as host when I want to connect from home via the Internet (dial up connection). Some other service provider has come up with a service whereby you can connect to your office PC (behind a firewall and proxy server), after installing their host software, from anywhere on the Internet without having to make changes to the firewall or proxy server. What you do is to log on to their (Internet) server and then through connect to your PC. I believe they do this by the host (i.e. your PC at the office, while connected to the Internet) pinging their (Internet) server every 15 seconds through either port 80, 443 or 8200. When you then log on via the Internet to their server a direct connection is established with your PC at the office. It works fine. Tte only problem is that they charge you quite a big amount per month for this service. Any comments on this and possibility for VNC to do this ? I guess, if this is to work for VNC, the VNC host software will have to be set up to ping just one server (being the PC at home from which I would like to connect). (Assuming that there will not be a single server on the NET just for this purpose, like the service described above). Therefore, it would not be possible to access the server (PC at the office) from any other PC except the one at home because the host (PC at the office) is only pinging one IP address.. This is better than nothing, for me though.
