connecting from the office to my home

[John Gray]

IP Address Changing?
   - Mine at home is static, no change. Not sure about offices.
Load balancing equipment on the LAN?
   - Possibly on the office's LAN?
SPI Firewall Denying VNC (Content Filtering firwall)?
   - Disabled at home, didn't help. Maybe on office's LAN?
Alternate Port?
   - I tried different ports; no change.

Tunnelling via SSH or VPN:
I'm not allowed to install software on the corporate workstation.  Can I use
tunelling without installing anything that would appear in their scans? (i.e.
RealVNC client is just an executable file.)


Thanks!
