Plus blocking VNC?

[#1]

Have Plus started blocking VNC access?  For no reason that I can find I have been unable to connect to either of PC's over VNC that I was previously able to .  I have checked my firewall settings and nothing has changed and everything seems to be correct, so was just wondering if there were any changes on Plus' side of things?

Not to my knowledge. What package are you on? When you say you've checked your firewall, are you talking about the PlusNet firewall that can be configured in the Member Centre.
I use VNC from work to my Premier-provisioned line at home so I'll give that a whirl when I get into the office (it was fine on Friday though).
Edit: Just got to the office and fired up VNC and it seems to be working fine. What happens if you run a probe on port 5900 from your Plusnet line here?

Turn ff any firewalls and try again to see if they are the problem - this includes the PN firewall and remember to reboot router after changing the PN one.

Just to echo Bob's testing, I VNC'd from a BBYW Option 2 account to my work computer (non PlusNet) this morning without a problem, and also to another of my sites which is on PAYG.  No problems with either of them.

Severe throttling can bring VNC connections which need high bandwidth to be effective, to their knees.  If you only have experienced this problem at peak times, try again off peak.  Using something like FreeNX for your VNC sessions should overcome the throttling problem - assuming of course that this is the problem with your VNC session.

Mick,
The OP shouldn't have any issues as a result of throttling. Not with the account type they are on.

Apologies if I gave a bum steer - the OP didn't say what account he's on so I was making a general statement as to what might have affected it.
If bandwidth is not an issue then it might have something to do with a software update on the PCs which might have affected the firewall settings - still guessing here as we don't even know what the respective OS' are.

Totally forgot I posted this.
I have disabled the plus.net firewall already.  Ill check my settings again.  Thanks
