Leave your VNC alone, except check the box that says "accept connections from loopback" or something like that. Then, in PuTTY, in the tunnel section, put 5900. ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
Re: Cannot connect from work
so accept conections should be 5900 which is the default, and I put 5900 on the source port on putty, but in sessions category the port number should be say 22 so It goes through the firewall at work through port 22, and comunicates with the vnc server on it's default 5900, am I right? I think I can get it working now. I just got confused when he said to put 5904 when his router accept on port 4. But when I tried the "accept connections" on port 22, I tired just to make sure, and connected with a black screen. It's weird because then it closed and said "Connection reset by peer". Should ssh tunneling fix or prevent this since I wasn't using ssh when I tried this. I'm really sorry for bothering you with this. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: vnc-list@realvnc.com Sent: Mon, 9 Oct 2006 6:35 AM Subject: Re: Cannot connect from work On Sunday 08 October 2006 07:25 pm, you wrote: > The instructions on that ssh putty link you emailed to me didn't work.

Cannot connect from work
I'm trying to connect to my RealVNC server that I made at my house from work, but at my job everything is on a proxy server. It allows traffic on ports 20,21,and 22. On my vnc server properties, I accept connections on port 22, and I followed instructions for my WRT54GSv4 linksys router on portforward.com but I still cannot connect. I know it can be done, because my co-worker does it all the time. He uses the beta version however, while I use the 4.1.2 RealVNC Free Edition. My laptop that I take with me to work is on Windows XP, as well as my home computer that the VNC server is on. Is it my router, or do I have to do something else. I put the number 22 on "Accept Connections on port:" in the properties on the server, just in case that helps. Check out the new AOL.
