well, i have never done something like this, but it should work. each computer that you want to connect to only needs to have 2 ports forwarded to it, 580x & 590x (and you don't need the 580x one if you don't want to use the java browser). so, what you could do is at your router forward 5800 & 5900 to computer 1, 5801 & 5901 to computer 2, and so on.
then when you want to connect to computer 1, you connect to your ip:0, or for computer 2 your ip:1. the :x means display number, and in essence is added to 5900, so yourip:1 connects to 5901 which is forwarded to computer 2. that should work. anybody know any different? ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Hillman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 8:52 AM Subject: 2 machines one external IP... > Greetings all! > > My issue is that I have 3 computers, 1 router which of course provides > internal IP's for my computers and connects to my real IP (actually I'm > using a DNS service to detect my ever changing DHCP assigned IP from my ISP > and map it to a world accessible host name). > > Now if I'm out on the internet away from home I can only reach one of the > machines because I cannot see the internal IP's for the individual > computers. > > So if I want to remote control any of the computers I have to set my router > to direct the VNC ports to one of the computers, connect to it with VNC from > outside the network, and launch the VNC viewer on the computer I connected > to.
