I responded to Andrew's comment on unblocking VNC in the firewall, as it
apparantely is blocked there. I haven't said a thing about Gencontrol.
Sometimes you need to connect to a computer at work from say home. If
there is a firewall blocking the use of eg VNC, the firewall rule or
whatever will have to be changed accordingly, unless you use some sort
of VPN-tunneling or some such. VNC all by itself (meaning the free
version) doesn't have any of this.
