Yes, you can connect to a pc remote (with vnc) and then connect from the remote pc connect to another (also via vnc). This does work, and usually very well. Since usually you connect via a slow network connection to first pc, and then with a fast connection to the second. Which is your case. The problem you are having most probably does not have anything to do with VNC. Are you using a VPN to connect to the first pc? Can you ping the second pc when you rea remotetly connecte to the first? Jerry ---------------------- An update; I connect from my PC, over NTL broadband to the internet with a roaming IP address. The server is permanently connected to a FIXED IP address via BT Openworld and a Netgear DG814 Router. From the outside world, all I can see of the remote network is the server that is running VNC. I have configured the router such that it redirects the relevant VNC port numbers accordingly....That's how I get it to work from outside the building. Surely though, this does not factor into the equation once I want to run VNC again from within the other building as no traffic should be coming directly back out through the router? The simple answer to your question is; From the outside I can only ping the server that runs VNC (that's all the router allows me to do) - once inside, from a DOS prompt on that server I can ping anything else inside the building. I *cannot* ping any of the other machines directly from my PC, which is outside of the building. The "Slow" network would be my broadband connections: The "Fast" network being the internal 100Mb LAN.
