@Azeem

You can use YouGetSignal to determine your (external) IP address and if VNC port properly configured and accessible.

Overll there can be many combinations of your home and office connection setups that interfere with VNC operation so it’s hard to say without details.

TightVNC, is easy to install and use… Having used other VNC apps, i can vouch for this one as being the best :)

My home desktop just died so I can’t test that at moment. Only thing that comes to mind that there is some optional driver for better performance as far as I remember. Maybe that will help. I’ll try it in next few days.

Good Article,
Even we are using TightVNC for helping out out clients and it helps a lot in terms of no need to go at the clients place!
It also seems pretty stable and decent for graphics.
Ive a question regarding the blanking feature available on the host side.
We checked the option, but the host screen didnt blank on remote connection!
Both sides are running XP.
Are there any specific conditions for it to run?

Hope you can give inputs.

Thanks,
Mehul.

@Nihar

It depends on specific setup of internet access in your office. If may work through caching proxy, blocking all but web – then nothing would work.

Maybe only specific ports are allowed, try setting TightVNC to use port 80 (http).

And remember – TightVNC is NOT safe for use over Internet out of the box.
