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.

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.
