OK, this is an expanded answer to the one I gave somebody else asking about VNC'ing to a server behind NAT. I assumed that they had control of the NAT, I didn't realise that some ISPs NAT'd people's connections. So, I'm assuming that this is your setup (xDSL with home router): (fixed font for this, folks) ________ / \ | xDSL | --------POTS--------| ROUTER |----ethernet------PC1 (10.0.0.1) | a.b.c.d| | |----ethernet------PC2 (10.0.0.2) | | | |----ethernet------PC3 (10.0.0.3) \________/ In this example, the router has an IP address a.b.c.d (static, I assume - you say you know it). Since the router is the only one with a 'proper' (ie, public - ie, addressable through the internet) IP address, you can only connect your VNCviewer to ports on this router. Your problem is that you want to connect your viewer to port 5900 on PCs 1,2 & 3. So you need to forward 3 ports on the router to port 5900 on PC1,2 & 3. So, go into your router config, find 'port forwarding' (this may be called something else - anyone seen a different term for this?) and setup (for example) forward router port 5901 -> 10.0.0.1:5900 forward router port 5902 -> 10.0.0.2:5900 forward router port 5903 -> 10.0.0.3:5900 ....so you can now connect via the internet to your PCs using vncviewer, and connecting to a.b.c.d:1 will give you PC1, a.b.c.d:2 will give you PC2 etc. Does that make sense? Post the model of your router and somebody can probably give you the exact details of the port forwarding config. -- Illtud Daniel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Uwch Ddadansoddwr Systemau Senior Systems Analyst Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru National Library of Wales Yn siarad drosof fy hun, nid LlGC - Speaking personally, not for NLW _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
