   Thanks for the enlightenment, Carlos.   
   But that's not my problem.   
      
   My problem is that I enabled VNC in the External zone.   
   Internal Zone is grayed meaning all ports are free.   
   If the client is local, why cannot it access the server without VNC in   
   the External zone enabled?   
   Is VNC server available outside local network?   
      
   Thanks
