All his machines are behind this. To the world, he has one IP address, assigned via DHCP to the Netgear router, who then distributes to the internal machines. If one wanted to run a remote X program for display on a machine behind the netgear box, how would one proceed? Opening port 600x is not a problem. But, what next? On the remote, what do you set DISPLAY to? Do you havve to hardwire that activity on a certain port on the netgear box is automatically routed to some specific machine? Like: all port 6001 goes to internal maxhine Z, all port 6002 activity goes to machine y, and so on? If so, how do you start the X server locally, and how do you specify the port for a program on the remote? Isn't the screen number 'added' to the base port of 6000? I played a bit with the X proxy in the TIS toolkit a while back, but that was not with a netgear (any vendor I guess) router.
