VNC Gurus, Here's my situation. I'm trying to use VNC as a way around performance problems with VPN on satellite DSL (which really sucks, BTW). The basic idea is that I have an extra laptop at a friend's house, connected to the internet via 'real' DSL and running VNC Server 4.1 Free Edition. If can VNC into that laptop and use it to establish the VPN connection with work, then my (home) satellite connection would be constrained by the VPN connection. Anyway, I can successfully use VNC Viewer on my home laptop to connect to the laptop running VNC Server at my friend's house, but as soon as I establish a Cisco VPN connection from the VNC sever laptop to my work LAN, my VNC connection between both laptops is terminated. Here's the interesting part: When I mouse over the VNC icon in the tool tray on the laptop running VNC Server - still connected to my work LAN on VPN - there are two IP addresses shown: a new VPN address, plus the original IP address of the laptop running VNC Server. I can log right back into the VNC Server laptop using the new IP address, but since these are dynamically generated for each VPN session I have no idea what that IP is going to be until the VPN connection is made - and then my VNC connection is terminated before I even know wha tthe new IP is! Any ideas? Are there VNC setting/config changes I can make to get around this? At a minimum, is there a log file that VNC keeps where the new VPN connection IP would be listed on the VNC server laptop? Other info: Both laptops are WinXP, Cisco VPN client is 4.8, VNC software is 4.1 Free Edition.
