Modern VNC Viewers have an option to rate-limit pointer events, which is really aimed at avoiding hosing very slow networks. However, the underlying PointerEventInterval can be set via the Expert tab (or in the registry), to ten or twenty milliseconds, to provide the level of

I'll have to go off and find a manual for your router to see how it lets you configure port forwards, but it shouldn't be too complex. To set up multiple port forwards on my router, I can define local and remote ports - the remote port is the one which the public internet can see, and the local

I've done this before, although only with two pc's behind the same router. For example, the router is set up to forward port 5900 to pc1, with the ip of 192.168.1.50 and port 5901 to pc 2 with the ip of 192.168.1.51. PC1 is set in vnc to listen on port 5900 and pc2 is set to listen on

My understanding of NAT is that a router must be able to associate multiple connections (possibly connectionless UDP conversations) between its LAN clients and external stations which can see only the router as a single entity. So, if a UDP datagram arrives from a station on the WAN the

Be aware that VNC requires TWO colons if you are using anything other than the default port, so your address should be: papeleria.no-ip.org::5901 Is this only when the VNC server is set up to listen on a non-default port? I used to think that a double colon was necessary (and indeed, I did

Is your static IP address in the range of the router's DHCP addresses? That won't work, because the computer, knowing that it has a static IP, won't request a lease renewal, and after some maximum amount of time, the DHCP server will try to force one. What will happen in this case
