I just found out about VNC last week, and I'm trying to figure out how to set up my home system so that I can access it from work. I've played around with it a bit at work, and it's pretty impressive, but I'm stumped about how to reach my home system, hidden behind an NAT. Seems that it ought to be possible, but that's about as far as I've gotten. I have dug through the archives, but I must confess that I didn't understand a lot of what I saw there, especially concerning using VNC with NAT. The entries on NAT and VNC were all over a year old, too, so I'm hoping that there has been some additional progress made on that front. I have tried reading up on NAT, but I must confess that I didn't understand a lot of what I read on that subject, either. The work system is behind a firewall. My home computer is on a DLink 802.11b router, with an internal (192.168.0.x) address that can be either dynamically assigned by the router, or manually assigned on a router setup page. The DLink has a setup for something called a virtual server, with a list of internal IP addresses in the 192.168.0.x range next to dropdown boxes labelled "service" with the selections HTTP/SMTP/POP3/FTP/TELNET/IRC/ALL/NONE I gather that I may need to set up something like SSH, but I'm at a loss at how to proceed. I definitely want to be the *only* person with access. For starters, what other information is required before I can approach this problem? I would like to be able to surf over to my home system, then fire up my newsreader & access mail and news. I can get to mail at work using the web interface, but it's hokey. I can get to new, but only through Google groups, which is also hokey. (My background: I spent several years as a programmer, but I'm not real internet-saavy. I now work as an insurance agent who gets tapped for occasional network maintenance at the agency when I can't avoid it, and I'm trying to learn how to do websites for my own use.)
