>>Please give more detail than "that doesn't work". You did set up the forwarding for the other display numbers, right? You are entering the display number when trying to connect with the viewer, right?<<
uh... wrong! This may be where my breakdown is occurring... I did not forward the ports to the other machines... I'll try when I get a second later on and report back... Thanks William, thanks Matthew... per, interesting theory - I'll experiment with that as well...
