I've been pulling my hair out over this for a couple of weeks, maybe the list can be some help.
We switched over to laptops with a docking station from desktop systems at work. I could use VNCViewer from my desktop just fine, but I can't get a connection on the laptop. I am using the same physical wire to connect, and am logging on to the same domain with the same user name. The software installed on both machines is similar but the laptop has some VPN software (Contivity) installed that I don't use and isn't running under ordinary circumstances. I can also attempt to connect from a browser, and the applet loads and runs fine. When asked to connect, it times out. I have spoken to one of the network admins and he says that they don't block anything, they just prevent some web sites from being accessed, and that there is no reason why it shouldn't work, and assured me I wasn't trying to circumvent some security measure. I also can't connect to any FTP servers from the laptop. In testing, I set up a quickie web server on my home machine and was able to get to it just fine, so it looks like something is doing some selective filtering. Windows firewall is using domain controls, but not blocking anything, and the configuration looks the same as the desktop (which works). I've started running out of options, are there any suggestions to help me diagnose this problem more fully and determine exactly where/what is blocking VNC? For a limited time I'll have both systems available so I could do some comparisons if I only knew what to look for. ---- You've got to be digging it while it's happening 'cause it just might be a one shot deal. -- F.
