Nope, static IP's all around (internally).

Yes, running 1.37 dated Jan. 3, 2001.

I still believe that most of those features won't work using the DHCP
server. I know for sure that the DMZ feature won't work.

Yes, good thought, but I am on the "0" display. I connect through IE at
work on port 5800 with no problems assuming my machine at home has been put
in the DMZ.
You are right about something fishy going on. I've even had a couple of
replies off-list and it seems to me that I am doing everything right
here. I'm beginning to wonder if something isn't wrong with my router.
Someone off-list mentioned that it could be a firewall problem at
work. That's a possibility, but only a remote one. I tend to think not
since I can connect through port 5800 on IE and using the VNC client itself.
I'm going to give telnet a host at work on Tuesday and see what kind of
message I get. Thanks for your input.
