just wanted let everyone know that it works... I may try this at some other time: > ExternalIP:5900 -> Internal1:5900 > ExternalIP:5901 -> Internal2:5900 > ExternalIP:5902 -> Internal3:5900 but I have a task list of other issues to solve first! One of which I'm about to post regarding XP and VNC - hoo boy... Thanks again for the help!
