A couple notes on similar things I've done... (1) "Chaining" with VNC is a dog as Wayne notes - you'd want at least ISDN speeds and you won't be happy.
(2) Netgears will allow forwarding, but you are typically limited to a total of 8 ports. (3) You *have* to have the 59xx port even with the Java client, so if you want to use the Java viewer accept that you will use 2 ports per server. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne Throop" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday/2002 January 26 02:17 Subject: : Re: Connecting to multiple servers on one network : : Nate Harel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : : I have a small network with several machines running Win2000.
