Hi, Several machines (XP SP2) on my network appear to be using non-domain Group Policy settings. These machines have editable exception lists which allow them to be individually configured to allow port 5900. I've been able to control these machines remotely as well as if Windows Firewall is turned off. The remaining machines appear to be using domain settings (as indicated by the message at the bottom of the General tab in Windows Firewall). The Windows Firewall exception list is uneditable on these machines so I've been unable to individually allow port 5900. Of course, I would prefer to use a Group Policy to configure all machines on the network to allow port 5900, but I've been unable to get the policy to work. I tried the following with various changes to syntax: ...Network Connections > Windows Firewall > Domain Profile (and Standard Profile) > 5900:TCP:localsubnet:enabled:VNC Thanks for any help you can offer!
