OK, this is a problem I've been struggling with for months now, and you guys seem to be the best ones to go to here..
My problem is this: At my school we have this internet sharing... I want to run a server at a machine inside that internet sharing, that is, the machine I want to run it on has no IP of it's own on the internet. There is no way that I could access the server that has the real IP towards the internet. If I had access to that one, I would of course portmap a couple of ports for WinVNC to run on. Now that is not the case. So, I need to bypass that firewall. So, when you try to connect to the IP the server is running on, you simply end up on the computer that is sharing the internet connection. I had this idea, that you could maybe run a sort of external bouncer that you could use for making this possible. That idea was that the passive computer that I wanted to run a server on would establish a link to a certain port at an external machine, and that that external machine then would listen on another port which all the clients could connect to, thus, the data would pass through the bouncer, through the link that is already established and end up at the passive computer. I am 100% certain that this is a thing that could be done, and it would be _most_ useful indeed. However, I certanly lack the programming knowledge for making this happen, so I thought that I would at least present my ideas to this list, then maybe someone would make it happen. If anybody has another sulotion to my problem, feel free to air it, because I am yet to find one. \Fredrik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
