> Let me describe the environment of the problem again.
> I have a small peer-to-peer network which works fine.
> I need to access resources on at least one of my desktops 
> when I am on the
> road so I'm taking it gradually.
> I have a desktop with free VNC server and viewer and a laptop 
> with only the
> viewer, both VNC4.
> Both machines run Windows XP SP2 with all the updates and patches.
> First, I want to access my desktop from my laptop when they 
> are both inside
> the network.
> After that, I'll try when the laptop is outside.
> Windows Remote Desktop works fine.
> There are no other firewalls installed except Windows.
> I have already enabled VNC server in the Exceptions tab of 
> the firewall in the
> desktop.
> Now I get immediately, and repetitively, the following error 
> message which I
> quote verbatim:
> "The connection connection closed unexpectedly.
> Do you wish to attempt to reconnect to 192.168.1.12?"
> Please help.
> Thanks in advance.
