Firewall question

[Leland V. Lammert]

Hi folks,

I just learned about VNC, but I cannot figure out how to get it to work with a firewall. I need to establish a 'viewer' session to a 'server' behind a NAT box. I have no problem with a connection the other way (i.e. from the machine behind the NAT box TO my machine here), .. but I was expecting a bi-directional capability somwehere, .. have I missed something (i.e. I would have expected to be able to 'reverse' the connection, since a call cannot be placed TO a machine behind the firewall)?

How does one connect to a server that is behind a firewall (e.g. with an offnet address)?
