Brad, you do not. I, like you, thought that you had to. I, like you, thought it would be good if I did not have to set up the remote side to port forward. After trying your product, I went looking on how to do it with VNC. You set up a vnc client to listen mode, on port 5500. You then make an application that dials back to that port, using the same idea that you have to have one static, somewhere, so it may as well be on your network. Once you have control on the other machine, connecting via vnc back to is simple. I agree, setting up a p2p system is better than client server, and once again, I thank you for your idea. I'd like to screen BSS implement the RFB protocol as well, so that it can be used with clients who prefer VNC. -- Keith Hutchison http://balance-infosystems.com http://realopen.org _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
