i'd like an application i can run on one of my windows boxes at home, which will allow me to stick in my dynamic DSN adress and prompt me to stick in a username and password through an IE/FF window and give me remote desktop workings through it......

anyone know of anything or any similar options?
 
thats blocked outgoing in work.

i really need something which i can use though IE.

i tried realVNC, it seems to think it can be accessed through any java enabled client but it was having none of it when i tried (on the port i setup to serve on) i got no response at all, even within the network in the house.


*edit* i've just read your post properly..... web based system you say..... i'll take a look
 
tried tight VNC, also seems to be blocked. they really seem to have went to town on blocking anything and everything.

so far i've tried tight (and real) VNC, windows remote desktop (which i've just realised that the web version also needs port 3389 open for so i dunno if that will work) and did have logmein.com working till it was re-clasified as a virus risk.......
 
a combination of the 2 i think.

tried VNC through port 80, and that failed.

logmein is blocked through smartfilter.

so i'm thinking if i have my home PC running as a server with IE access it will be seen as just normal HTTP traffic and if the adress gets blocked i can get a new one without any difficulty.
 
aye, everything i've tried from here has been tried from another external source to verify it works before attempting it from inside my works ridiculous security.
 
just tried hamachi, and can't install it on PC in work........

not had a chance to install the web remote desktop yet, so i'll probably do that at lunch today.

till then.... any more suggestions?

p.s thanks a lot to everyone that has helped so far :)
 
registered with dyndns, so thats sorted.

got RealVNC running on port 80, but i've tried that and its havning none of it.

just checked actually, i changed my router remote control access to port 8080 and i can still access that. so i presume its just being blocked by protocol.
 
i'm stuck in work for now.

its karbon.dnsalias.com

i'll edit this in half an hour or so, but i'm not too fussed about it being there tbh.
 
hmm i'll take a look at that when i get home then......

need to pop into town at lunch (to buy WoW because you can't buy it online from blizzard, silly buggers) so it will be tonight before i get a chance. thanks all the same :)
 
its smartfiltered after you login as a virus risk.

i can understand why in that instance, if you have logmein pro you can transfer data from remote drives, i can't blame them for wanting to protect the integrity of the network.
