Ok Here's the deal
I'm trying to access my home PC from work using tightvnc as the server
and the java applet web viewer from my workplace
I am stuck behind a restrictive firewall and all outoing connections
go through a proxy. So far the only ports I am certain that I can use
are 80 and 443
First I set up tight vnc to server the applet on port 80 and to use
443 as the RFB port. I can load the applet up great and it asks for my
password but then I get the error "network error : no route to host
xxx.xx.xxx.xxx" where "x" is my IP
I then tried swapping round the ports so that the applet is served
from 443 and 80 is the RFB port, same thing happens the page loads
great but won't connect.
I know it's something to do with the network I'm trying to view from
because I have got it working fine with no problems on a laptop I have
set up on a dial up connection it's just so sloooow and the laptop is
going soon. It also works on the local machine using loopback. And I
have got friends to connect and it works fine.
I don't have any control over the firewall so can't make any changes
I am going to try and patch it with the HTTP via RFB over 1 port
although I can't do this until I get home as I can't do it over VNC
because files are in use.
If that doesn't work then I will have to look into http tunnelling.
Can anyone give advice on what is the best and easiest way to do this
as I have never done it and I don't have a clue.
Also feedback on the comments above would be appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
