Remote Control using port 80

[Juancho]

I'm trying to take control of my home pc from my office but we have a firewall with only port 80 open.
Anyone knows if there's a way to achieve this???

Any help would be appreciated.

Check out RemotelyAnywhere.

vnc can be configured to use port 80...all you have to do is use a negative display number. you can find more info on that at the VNC website

Thanx a lot guys.

I tried to change the VNC with the port 80 but the program hangs.
Don't know what's wrong.
Now I'm trying RemotelyAnywhere, looks very good...

I believe you should be able to use PCanywhere as well. Just change from default ports to 80. I just started using it and it works VERY well for my needs.

PCAnywhere is a POS, I would recommend anything over it, even Netmeeting's remote control is better and it's free.

But the reason other apps on port 80 probably isn't working is because RemotelyAnywhere can remote control with HTTP, most proxies don't allow non-HTTP traffic through them and this kills most apps.
