By the way, how to check if the company's router or DSL provider
router's port 3389 / 5900 is open? I know my administrator can access
my work PC using the UltraVNC ( Our department and the headquater are
located in different location )- Hide quoted text -

I just read from web said port forwarding is needed for both remote
desktop and UltraVNC. I am wondering is it the DSL provider's policy
to close these ports for security reason? How to test if it is OPEN?
If it is closed, what I need to do? To ask the DSL provider to open
it?
See this page for help...

For Remote Desktop you only need TCP Port 3389 open on any firewall or router the work PC is behind. You don't need the web based port forwarding at all unless you choose to go that way.
To check is TCP Port 3389 is open at work and forwarded to your work PC you can go to the http://www.canyouseeme.org site while logged on your work PC.
Make sure you check with your work network administrators about doing all of this. There may be company policies against connecting an untrusted system (your home PC and/or LAN) to the trusted work network and PC.
