I think maybe we are answering the wrong question. It's a while since I used ICS but I think it assigns a different internal address to each system from the 192.168 pool. Just enter 'IPCONFIG' at a DOS prompt on each system to get the individual IP addresses (but be warned they are probably dynamic which means they may vary over time - you can get a different IP address each time you use ICS). That is the address you use in VNC to connect to another system on the LAN.
Now if you want to connect across the Internet to a system on your LAN you need to set up port forwarding as William Hopper described.

As well as any other NAT device, because that is what ICS is. The biggest issue is the older versions don't have a GUI to set it up. That, of course, has been fixed by third parties. http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/ics/ics.htm Man, that web site looked way better before they sold out to EarthWeb... -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
