Ketki: It sounds like there is definitely something in there blocking your access. I'd double-check that the windows firewall is entirely disabled, first off. Other than that, I'm at a loss here... Good luck!

I have VNC server running at my work. and the tightVNC viewer running on desktop is able to connect fine, but the laptop is viewer is giving me error "Failed to connect to server" . The laptop is able to ping the work machine, I have disabled the windows XP firewall, and norton anti virus on the laptop is also disabled. ( i couldn't find a way to add port 80 in the allow options) as described in FAQ. Does anyone know how to do it on XP ? when i try to telnet to work machine port 5900 from laptop, it tells me "could not open connection to the host on port 5900" obviously looks like something is blocking my connection from laptop to the work machine. Any ideas ? suggestions ? I am bed ridden for few weeks, and only way for me to be able to work is using laptop to connect to work. I really need to fix this issue to save my job. appreciate all suggestions. ketki. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
