You'll have to map a port from your machine with public IP to the private one. I believe VNC uses 5800 and 5900 by default. You then connect your vncviewer to the public IP. How you go about doing that depends on your OS and personal preferences.
You might want to consider using a port other than the default to avoid basic port scanners scanning subnets for servers. It involves changing two registry keys, but it's pretty straight forward. There are also several third-party tools that will let you run vnc through an encrypted tunnel for added security. |-----Original Message----- |From: snaqi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] |Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 6:23 AM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: IP AND NAT | | |My first question is, is this possible, I have only one public |IP address, and I am using nat to hide my internal network, |and I want to connect to a machine with vnc on that with |private ip And then run my web server and ftp server inside |that network.
