Web VNC Client Requirements?

[L.M.]

[To "evets dranem" ]

Hello, thank you for your answer.

You confirm what Jean-Marie Theis explained yesterday.

Actually my firewall is a SP2 Windows firewall which cannot filter outgoing 
traffic.
I am trying to find a firewall such as "Windows Firewall with Advanced 
Security"
so that I make sure the problem was a problem of outgoing traffic being 
filtered.

I'll answer your question when I find the proper way to test the problem.

Thanks again for your concern.
