Hi Kenji,

In the FORWARD page of the linksysrouter, you should set it to:

VNC     5900 to 5900     TCP UDP          192.168.1.100    enabled
VNC     5901 to 5901     TCP UDP          192.168.1.101    enabled
VNC     5902 to 5902     TCP UDP          192.168.1.102    enabled
VNC     5903 to 5903     TCP UDP          192.168.1.103    enabled

And you should set up each pc to have a display #.

VNC     192.168.1.100     Display# 0
VNC     192.168.1.101     Display# 1
VNC     192.168.1.102     Display# 2
VNC     192.168.1.103     Display# 3

If all of the pc's are set to listen on port 5900, then your router will
only be able to forward port 5900 to one of those machines, not all 4. So if
you change the display numbers on the vnc server then you can use a
different display number for each machine.

HTH,

Zach

Subject: Accessing several computers on a network remotely via the
internet.


Here is my scenario:



I need to remotely administer 4 computers for my parents office in Tampa. I
live in miami. Last week I went over to their office and installed the
RealVNC server program in all the boxes (all of them run XP).  They use
Bellsouth DSL (dynamic IP only) and are behind a Linksys router (BEFSR41).
All PCs are set for obtaining an IP automatically. I've gone ahead and set
the linksys to be remotely administered and to be able to do remote
updrades. In the FORWARD page of the linksysrouter, I've set it as follows:



VNC     5900 to 5900     TCP UDP          192.168.1.100    enabled

VNC     5900 to 5900     TCP UDP          192.168.1.101    enabled

VNC     5900 to 5900     TCP UDP          192.168.1.102    enabled

VNC     5900 to 5900     TCP UDP          192.168.1.103    enabled



100-103 is the usually IP range used at any given time by these 4 PCs.



Since their DSL is dynamic, I'm using No-IP's dynamic service and client
application to get the current IP address.



I can connect to the linksys router and can connect to one PC. How can I
specify VNC viewer to connect to a specific Computer. When I have connected
it is usually to the wron computer. The only way I've figure to get around
this is to delete all the entries above and just leave one with the IP I
need. Is there a way I can connect to PC specifying a Computer name?  Or
will I have to give everyone an internal static IP address and specify it
each time in the forward page of the router.



Any suggestion will greatly be appreciated.



Kenji
