Hi
Thanks everyone for getting back to me so quick. I'll try port forwarding
with my home firewall as well as trying the demo server again with port 443.
I'll let you know how I get on with that.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Andrew & Scott
I can appreciate Andrew's problem. What he is trying to do is circumvent
his work firewall policy! My company appears to block all outgoing ports
except 80 and 23 so the only real chance is to go outbound on 80. To add
to the complication, his home ISP is most likely to block his inbound
80, inbound 443, inbound mail (other than the ISP server) and a few
others. Inbound 1328 is fine but "can't get thar from here".
I would be interested in any suggestions. Port redirect of course will
not work.
Stewart

Subject: [Echovnc-users] Newbie getting started problems
Hello All,
I'm struggling badly with VNC at the moment. I've tried everything I can
think of and have run out of ideas.
What I am trying to do is pretty standard I think. I have a computer at
home
which I want to access from Work using VNC. My work has a firewall which
I
have no access to and no info about but it seems to block almost
everything.
My PC at home just conencts through a modem to broadband and has a tiny
firewall on it.
I have tried a direct connection using realVNC which obviously didn't
work.
I tried to set up an SSH tunnel before I realised I needed to be able to
port forward which I can't do because I have no access to the work
firewall.
So then I came across echoVNC/echoServer and thought this was the answer
to
all my problems:
First I tried setting up echoVNC to connect to a demo echoServer that
was
mentioned on the sourceforge website but echoVNC at work wouldn't
connect to
it. I then thought i'd try and set up an echoServer at home. The
echoserver
is running fine at home on port 1328. The echoVNC at home connects to
this
ok and looks like it is runnning fine and I have tightVNC serever
running on
top of all that. Once again, the problem is connecting to this from
work.
When I try and connect to the echoServer in echoVNC, it doesn't connect.
I
put in the same IP address and port as I do from home but it doesn't
seem to
see it from work. Any idea why this would be? Anyway, this is a
showstopper
as far as echoVNC is.
TightVNC doesn't connect directly from work (port5900 and port 5800http)
using the normal viewer. However, if I try accessing things using a
browser,
I get a bit more success.
If I try the ip address along with port 1328, I get
"KaboodleProxy_Protocol
Version 1.0_Server Version 1.0" which I assume is the echoServer talking
back.
If I try the ip address along with port 5800, It try's to connect using
Java
and offers me the chance to put in my password but then comes back with
"Network Error: could not connect to server: <ip address>:5900"
So I guess my questions are:
Why can't I get echoVNC at work to connect to my echoServer at
home...and is
there a way to do this?
Why do I get the network error?
Can anyone suggest a set up that might actually work?
An answer to any or all of the above would be greatly appreciated,
Best Regards,
Andrew
