I've been monitoring this list for a few weeks as I was struggling with establishing a RealVNC session from the internet through my SAR703 ADSL NAT modem/router to my computer on my peer-to-peer LAN. I'd had it working within my LAN for months with no problems.
I have finally succeeded by simply trying something not mentioned by anyone! When port forwarding, I had been setting up the "ppp_device" interface with the port number, protocol and target IP. But by chance I saw "ppp-0" as an alternative in Bob's ADSL Router Configuration Utility (www.ukbonkers.karoo.net) so set up the same rules but with this as the interface. Success! My cousin (without altering his router) could control my WinXP desktop from his WinXP desktop over ADSL 60 miles away. Of course, the manual only mentions "ppp_device"! Any explanations about this interface thingy from the techies out there would be of interest. And I hope this helps the newbies/beginners - if you want I can do a step-by-step to how I did it.
