Screen Resolution in Windows? - UnknownHostException

[Scott A.]

   I  am not able to ping my address.  My home firewall (ZoneAlarm) stops
   pings.   I gave the VCN server Server rights when I installed it so it
   should be able to access any port.

   I also tried to telnet to port 5900.  It simply says:
   "Could not open a connection to host: Connect failed"
   When I try to connect using the vncviewer, it says:
   "Failed to connect to server"
   I  am  fairly  certain that the viewer will not connect because it can
   not  directly  access the port through the proxy server.  I was hoping
   that  a  Web  based  client  would  work,  as it is configured to work
   through the proxy server.
