Cannot connect from work

Tue Oct 10 02:42:00 2006

so accept conections should be 5900 which is the default, and I put 5900 on the source port on putty, but in sessions category the port number should be say 22 so It goes through the firewall at work through port 22, and comunicates with the vnc server on it's default 5900, am I right? I think I can get it working now. I just got confused when he said to put 5904 when his router accept on port 4. But when I tried the "accept connections" on port 22, I tired just to make sure, and connected with a black screen. It's weird because then it closed and said "Connection reset by peer". Should ssh tunneling fix or prevent this since I wasn't using ssh when I tried this. I'm really sorry for bothering you with this.

Accept connections should be set to "5900" and also  you need to check the box 
to accept connections on the "localhost." I'm not running vnc on Windows at 
this time, so I don't recall what the setting is called, exactly.

One other thing I should mention: If you get caught doing this, your employer 
may consider it a violation of company policy, since they are specifically 
trying to limit access to the outside world. Just because your friend at work 
does it, does not mean that it's "OK."
