Hello! I am trying to access my home computer from work and the company network is behind a firewall which blocks external ports. PING is not even working. I thought of doing it through the web which is not blocked but I don't know what to do and what program to use and ... Any assistance is appriciated. Alireza Alireza Alireza@arnit.net

VNC (there are many flavours, Tight VNC is the one I use) has a web interface. Peter (Alert me if you want a reply)

Hi! Thanks for the reply! Actually I was using RealVNC myself but as far as I know, it does not support connections through proxies. My work computers are behind a firewall and are connect to internet through a proxy. Also, TightVNC's documention says that it can not connect to the remote computer through proxy. Is there anything else I can try probabaly? Thanx Alireza Alireza@arnit.net

Hi, You did not mention a proxy server in your first post. Sorry, I don't know of any way to do that. Peter (Alert me if you want a reply)

I would be careful I'm sure there are company policies against doing stuff like that hence why they have firewalls and proxies setup . If there is stuff on your home computer that you must have then i would just transfer the files . I know at our company something like this would get a severe reprimand and or dismissal.

Hi, Even though you have a web interface on you remote software, it is unlikely that it will use a HTTP port i.e. 80. XP pro has a built in remote desktop feature, which also has a web interface, known as TSWEB. This runs on port 3389, but can be configged to work on a different port by changing a reg entry on the server end of the connection.

Hi, thanks for your replies. Well, I am not sure what to do. All the programs that are able to pass through SOCKS are not free. I tried to use TSWEB before but it sucks dude! It doesn't work on SOCKS either, i mean at least I could not get it work with SOCKS. Can anybody help me out? Thanks alot, Alireza Alireza Alireza@arnit.net
