Certainly my dad has VNC on his box (hmm was installing it a good idea I wonder - actually he is really good and doesn't fiddle too much in between trips to Norwich) and the firewalling is done by the PC not by the modem. A quick port scan should answer the question anyway - nmap is your friend. I have the advantage I run my dads email server - so when I need to know the last IP address he had I just check the mail server logs. Kind of like DYNDNS but without the sophistication ;) Simon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
