   Nope.  Verified  this  awhile  back, actually, but I forgot to include
   that  in  the  full_description  below. And if this was happening, the
   event log on BOX_1 wouldn't be showing connections, which it is.

   Just  confirming:  so  you're definitely behind a router that is using
   NAT when you're at work?

   This  would  seem  to rule out EVERYTHING, so I can only conclude that
   there's some behavior of vNC that isn't being reported. Is there a way
   to  get  a  fully-detailed debugging log from the client and/or server
   side  of  vNC?  If  I could tell _exactly_ where it was falling on the
   floor,  I  could probably figure it out; but the sparse entries in the
   Event Log don't really give enough information. =/

   I've  messed  around  with  changing  the  local ports, but it doesn't
   change  anything;  same  results  whether I connect to "localhost", or
   whether I forward 9876 to 5900 and connect to localhost::9876.
