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 client, I think.
But, if I try to use the "normal" viewer, I get the error "Failed to connect to server". It doesn't give me a password prompt or anything. I am able to ping the IP address fine. Any ideas on where to go from here?

For Java client access you need both ports 5800 and 5900: router:5800 -> server:5800 router:5900 -> server:5900 -- Mike Ossmann, Tarantella/UNIX Engineer/Instructor Alternative Technology, Inc. http://www.alttech.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
