Hi Stuart,

Thanks for the reply! Port 5900 is currently open, as I *can* connect from *inside* the firewall to a host outside. The problem occurs in that I need the connection in the other direction, .. i.e. I need to make the machine *inside* the firewall the host, and I cannot see a way to connect from that machine as a host to a remote. (It is running an off-net IP address.) IOW, I need the 'host/server' (behind the firewall) to call the 'remote' because the host is NAT and can only support an outbound connection.

I cannot imagine that there are many others with this same sort of problem, as almost all of our clients have NAT boxes for their machines. If you have any ideas, please advise.
