Oh, yeah... VNC by itself is NOT encrypted in any way. I use the method you describe to connect to my machine at home from work... and I'm reasonably certain that 1) My boss can't see what I'm doing and 2) No one is sniffing my VNC traffic and there's no strangers connecting to my VNC server. BTW,

Hi there, One thing that occurred to me, reading some of the replies to your question, is that some companies don't *actually* allow traffic out to the Internet. Instead, all HTTP/HTTPS/FTP, etc passes through an internal proxy server - they don't allow any internal machines to connect directly to

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.

Telnet 5800 and see if you get any response. If you get *any* response, chances are you're making it outside of your corporate LAN. If you *don't* get anything (anything other than "connection timed out" that is) then you are not getting out of your LAN. John -Original Message- Fr

Yeah. I keep forgetting about TS since we don't use it here. OTOH, it seems from past readings of this and the Tight-VNC list, that TS and VNC (of any flavor, AFAIK) don't "play well" together.
