Well, I /think/ the firmware of the Soho3 is at least similar to the Pro's firmware, so, sorry in advance if this doesn't apply to you... When you add the rule, you need to give it a specific IP address in the destination field. For example: Source: WAN Destination: LAN Addr Range Begin: <IP.Address.Of.VNCserver> Addr Range End: <IP.Address.Of.VNCserver> Note that the Begin and End addresses are the same. In essence, you are forwarding port 5800 (and 5900 for HTTP) to the IP Address of the machine that's running the VNC server. Also, if you are using DHCP, you may want to add this machine as a Static Entry by entering an IP Address along with the machine's NIC MAC Address.
