RE: From Work to Home (again!!)[Scanned]

2004-11-30 Thread Wayne Ivory
Thanks for the replies.  Addressing the questions/issues brought up by
both of you...

There is no firewall at home.  (Well that's not quite true.  The PC has
ZoneAlarm on it but I have/will turn that off for VNC testing purposes.)

I'm not sure whether my boss would "know" whether the corporate firewall
supports ssh.  He might, but he's not here today.  What "non-generic"
stuff do you guys need to know about our corporate firewall to help you
help me?

Thanks

TO make a connection between to firewalled computers there are only
two methods that I know of:

1.  use a proxy or pass through service, there are a few of theese out
there but they do cost money.

2.  modify either firewall.  This one is important in order to get vnc
to work it is very likely that you only need to change one firewall.  
If your boss is uncomfortable perhaps you could change your home
firewall. ***

***What jerry is saying is that some connections may be blocked in an
outbound direction.  (Un)fortunatley? many corporate firewalls are
only inbound blocking.  Many that I have come across will allow you to
run any protocol (e.g. as long as your computer is initiating the
connection.

I am not sure what the situation is in your case.

Is it possible to temporarily stop all login attempts for 15 to 30 minutes
after several login failures. (5 or more)

This would stop hackers from using unattended programs to try to break-in.

Re: Connection Problem

2004-11-30 Thread Angelo Sarto
Does you boss have windows XP service pack 2 installed?   The default
firewall will block inbound connections for vnc.

additionally if she/he has a router that would block it too.

What version of pcAnywhere are you using?  I have used VNC v3 and v4
with pcAnywhere 10.5 on the same Win2000Pro host machine for a long time
with no problems whatsoever, even if logged in with both at once (which
I usually am).  I haven't tried the just-released pcAywhere 11.5 yet.

As for uninstalling pcAnywhere...well it's a kinda nasty beast about
that.  Simple uninstallation Leaves behind registry entries and stuff.
There's a paper in the Symantec website knowledge base that describes
how to completely erase all traces of pcAnywhere.  If you're comfortable
editing the registry, you might try that I suppose.

RE: Simple .exe a remote client can run for support?

2004-11-30 Thread Wall, John
Hi Andrew,

I did a Google search "batch sleep windows 98" and yes apparently the
SLEEP.EXE is located on the Windows 98 SE Resource Kit. It wasn't on the
First Edition as I just looked. I will have look at a SE cd when I get to
work.

I remember using a SLEEP utility in Windows 95 and completely forgot about
it. I also am in need of slowing things down within a batch file.

Question about VNC viewer

2004-11-30 Thread Artem Ossipov
Hello!

Excuse my disturbing you. I am writing with reference in connection with the 
present situation.
 It's like this. We would like to use VNC software, but we have one question. 
Your software can view and interact with one computer from any other computer. 
In particularly, VNC viewer displays ALL desktop of a remote computer (VNC 
server).
Can I do so, that my VNC viewer displays, for example, left top quarter of a 
remote desktop? 
Or another area of a desktop? 
We would be grateful if you could answer this question.

Thank you,

Re: Issue with connecting to Vnc via router.

2004-11-30 Thread Scott C. Best
Mark:
Heya. You will get "error 10061" if you try to connect
via port-forwarding to a VNC Server on your LAN from a VNC Viewer
that's *also* on the same LAN. That is, the port forwarding you
did for ports 5800 and 5900 will work for everywhere on the Internet
(like where GoToMyVNC connects from) *except* for on your LAN. On
your LAN, you'll have to use the "LAN address" (eg, 192.168.x.y)
rather than the .myserver.org address.
Also, if you open a web-browser to ".myserver.org"
you should get the "router logon box". To get to the VNC Server
via a web-browser (again from *outside* of your LAN) you'll have
to use ".myserver.org:5800".
Hope that helps!
-Scott
 I am having issues similar to many people that I have read here, I have an
Edimax Router/hub and a Dynamic IP address. I am using myserver.org to
obtain an effective static IP address, I have configured the router to port
forward 5800 and 5900 to 5800 and 5900 on a machine on the LAN side of the
router, I can access the Vnc server via a vnc viewer on another machine on
the network. When I try to goto the website address of .myserver.org:0
it comes up with a connection error of 10061 which means it is not even
getting to the password authentication. If I got to .myserver.org it
comes up with my router logon box, so not sure whats going on here. I went
to gotomyvnc.com and confirmed that the port of 5900 is open

Re: From Work to Home (again!!)

2004-11-30 Thread Jerry Westrick
Hello Wayne...

First off you need to find out how you are going to get through your
firewall.  Firewall is a generic term, And "corporate firewall" usually means 
"we don't want you to do anything but HTML".

So  if you are planning on using ssh (putty is an ssh client) to tunnel, 
you'll have to ask your BOSS if the "corporate firewall" allows ssh.

or I guess you could just try it and see.

But I doubt its open as it would be a huge hole in your "corporate firewall".

If you can use it, Then you'll need to setup an SSH server on your wife's 
computer so that you can get use putty to connect to it.

Jerry
