Hi Alan: How are your office machines accessing the Internet? Through a router? If so, have you instructed the router about which machine on the network gets which frames? If you do use a router with NAT (Native Address Translation) then it can be a problem. I can talk to one of my home machines via VNC from remote locations via my home router (cable TV broadband, then a router to several machines) but I had to tell the router that frames for logical ports 5500, 5800 and 5900 were to be directed to xxx.xxx.xxx.2, the internal ip address for the W98SE machine on which I've been playing with VNC. There is an issue, though; if you can't tell the VNC instances on other machines to use other ports, how can you tell the router you want machine A, not B or C? I had the same problem with PcAnywhere; Semantec's work-around is to specify different ports for each machine. I consider that shabby, though... I apologize if this is duplicates messages by others. I'm reviewing vnc-list-digest and found your message. I haven't looked for replies yet.
