Morry,
you may want to try setting up port forewarding for telnet to verify that
you can actually connect, but if your company is anything like mine they
will probably have that blocked as well. You should try from work in IE
http://<YOURPUBLICIP>:5800 and 5801 to see if the server is running. You
should see the "RBF..." message. The next step would be to find another
machine on the "outside" that you could use to attempt to connect to your
home pc. That way, you could determine if it's you company's firewall.
Another thing you could try from home is the IE http://<YOURPUBLICIP>:5800
and 5801 , I can't rember off hand but I'm pretty shure this will be allowed
by your router. This will help you determine if your home router is
configured properly. I know I used this to test a FTP server and my netgear
router had no problems with it.

Subject: Re: vncviewer from behind firewall to behind firewall
Jacob,
Thanks for your help, still no luck. I do have a d-link router between
cable
modem and PC and I have configured it to forward port 5900 to the ip address
of
the linux box running vncserver . I also forward 5901
to the same box. But this is what I get when trying to run vncviewer from
work.
vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused
Unable to connect to VNC server
Any other ideas, could it be becaucse the vncserver is being run by root on
the
linux machine?
