Heres were i'm at now.
I have vnc on both machines i've went to my windows firewalls and allowed the program i've also allowed there ports on my windows firewall.
I went on to the router but when i was reading up on portforwarding i found this.
http://portforward.c...ger2100/VNC.htm
I paid no attention to that and went in and opend the ports.
After all of that i was able to connect to my desktop using my laptop in the house. On our Lan. But when i got to work and tried to access my pc at home i got the following message
"Unable to connect to host: A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host. (10065)"
So i am kind of stuck now. Any more help that can be provided would be muchly apreciated. Thanks

Start > Run > cmd
Then type this:
ping <your homes ip address>
If you don't know your homes IP Address go to THIS LINK
Also while you are at work allow your homes IP address on any firewalls you have on your work PC. And vice versa (Get your works IP and allow it on your home machine)
I hope that isnt to confusing! Just try that and see what happeneds.
Hope That Helps! and Good Luck!
