I've currently got a 4 machine network running, with one machine connected to the net via ADSL, sharing via WinME with ICS (I'm buying a proper router soon!). What I did was: - setup a dynamic DNS service - I used www.dyndns.org (mainly because they're free!). That way I don't need to worry about any change in the IP address (even though this doesn't happen very often), as I run the DirectUpdate freeware program on the server, which sends the latest IP to the dyndns servers. I can then just access my machine using the format of: machinename.dyndns.org - the next step was to open the relevant port in my firewall to allow inbound VNC connections - finally you need to alter the routing table in the your router's setup options (I used a program to change my ICS settings) so that any inbound traffic on ports 580x or 590x are redirected to the internal machine on your LAN (e.g., 192.168.0.3). You can then access your machine remotely either at http://machinename.dyndns.org:580x (where you've specified x on your machine running VNC server) or use the VNC viewer and view it at machinename.dyndns.org:x. You could obviously route the different ports indivdually -e.g., 5802 to 192.168.0.2, 5803 to 192.168.0.3, etc. if you've got a few machines you need access to. Hope that's of some help!
