Already looked at the FAQ and documentation for this question, but it didn't answer my question so I thought I'd pose it here...
Basically, I am trying to access my home computer while at work. I have the VNC server running on my home computer, and try to run the viewer at the office while on my laptop. I have brought the laptop home and connected just fine, but at work I can't seem to. I have checked the firewalls on both my computer and the main computer which accesses the router/internet, and they are not active.
I'm not sure what the problem would be, but whenever I try to connect I get the 'failed to connect to server' message.
Thoughts on what I might be overlooking?
Thanks!

Re: UltraVNC help re: failed to connect
Is your computer at home on a public IP and not protected by any kind of NAT ?

Sorry, I didn't see that there was another section of the forum for 'help' issues.
I did some reading through that forum to see if I could solve my problem, but I didn't find anything that applied to my situation...
I did notice, however, a lot of talk about Verizon DSL and DLink Routers causing problems. My home computer accesses the internet through the Verizon DSL service, and through a DLink router...might this be the cause of the problem?
