You have a point in that yes you can block ports over the network, but my point was from an internal to internal view only. I was saying that a correctly configured windows NT/2000 box running Ultra could be tweaked to prevent access into it.... However, as you say, blocking transfers from/to that box to an external system running Ultra is a completely different matter. In that way, yes, you'd have to block the external link, but as VNC can run on almost any port - it would be damned hard to stop. To truly stitch up a network so that users can't transfer files out of the system is very hard. You'd have to have a completely closed system: no physical transfers, ftp, ssh, web, email, blah, blah, blah.
