RE: VNC doesn't work through Linksys - my setup is correct i think
Steffen, The current VNC releases require a standard TCP/IP connection between viewer and server. You can of course tunnel the VNC connection through an HTTP-proxy-aware tunnel to get through.

Telnet public.ip.of.router 5800 and see if you get any response. If you get *any* response, chances are you're making it outside of your corporate LAN.

RE: Re: VNC doesn't work through Linksys - my setup is correct i think
Off hand, I'd say probably not. You're 100% positive you have VNC Server up and running on your machine at home? If so, I'd say you're probably blocked by a firewall at work. Next test would be to try telnetting to your external IP from your home machine and see what you get. If it works, then you've got your answer. If it doesn't work, then you probably do NOT have VNC Server running on your machine and you've got to try these tests again. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 2004 10:54 AM To: John Aldrich; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Re: VNC doesn't work through Linksys - my setup is correct i think here's what i got: C:\telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 5800 Connecting To xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 5800...Could not open connection to the host, on port 5800: Connect failed it doesn't say timed out, but connect failed. is this the same thing? did this get out of my corporate network?

msledge-at-bellsouth.net |Lists| wrote: is there something else i have to enable on my router/firewall besides just simple port forwarding? i have a pretty good grasp of the basics here and as far as i can tell everything's setup properly. A couple of ideas: To aid in debugging and troubleshooting, you *could* try to leave the firewall alone, shut down your webserver, and reconfigure VNC to listen with VNC on port 80 or 21. See if you can connect from the remote site to vnc::80 or vnc::21. If you can, something funky is going on either with ports 5800 and 5900 or some special permissions are given to 80 and 21. If it works and you know your own router is configured identically for all these ports, you also know that e.g. 80 and 5900 are configured differently somewhere... Enabling your webserver on 5800 or 5900 will then allow you to do the opposite test. Or try from an internet cafi where you ask about their firewall setup to ensure that they allow everything. Or just list your public IP address and we'll try to access it from here! :-D ( Only a joke! - don't post your public IP address here.

Re: VNC doesn't work through Linksys - my setup is correct i think
Hello, do I understand right? VNC doesn4t work through a proxy server? I have a similar problem. Enabling bypass proxy using LAN it marches.

Instead, all HTTP/HTTPS/FTP, etc passes through an internal proxy server - they don't allow any internal machines to connect directly to the outside world at all. Could this be your problem? If so then there are some tools you can use to get things working through the web proxy.
