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 PC.

Subject: RE: Connecting from work to home
On a Win2k computer at work I do the following:
1. Type "telnet <ip address>: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 <ip address>", our corporate firewall asks me
to authenticate, which I successfully do
4. I then get the error "Connection to <ip address> failed", "Connection
to host lost."
So it sounds like I don't have my router setup correctly, right?
Thanks,
Nick

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.

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?
Thank you,
Nick

For Java client access you need both ports 5800 and 5900:
router:5800 -> server:5800
router:5900 -> server:5900
