Hi,

I installed on several terminal on a network TightVNC with reverse
connection (server making the connection to the viewer in listen mode). In
this network I have 4 Win98 and 2 WinXP. Firewall installed on all. I
created a packet filter allowing TCP outgoing port 5500 (the port for
reverse connetion on VNC). The problem is that it works on the Win98
machines, but not on the WinXP.

I tried the same on other customer network and with the WinXP machine
happens the same. Can't make the connection.

Does anyone had the same problem with XP behind ISA?

Thanks,
Edgar Santos
