This affects AOL and Gateway.net users who use a modified browser and those who access virtual lab technology from behind a corporate firewall. Modified browsers users should use either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator (both 4.0 or higher). Users behind a corporate proxy server should access virtual lab technology through a commercial ISP account. NOTE: Connection to the real PCs and servers is done via the VNS protocol. As a result, there is a requirement for a connection through ports 5800-5821 and 5900-5921.
