Ok, let's hope this is clearer: I have a Windows2k Network with a single fileserver. Let's call it "Joe". This network shares a DSL connection to the internet, and we have a Watchguard SOHO Firewall. This network has (among others) two workstations. One is running WindowsXP-Pro, let's call that one "Mary". Another workstation is running Windows98SE, let's call that one "Martha".
Right now, I can successfully run VNC Server on Joe, and from anywhere with an internet connection, use the VNC viewer to connect to Joe. I'd like to also run VNC Server on Mary and Martha, and, from anywhere with an internet connection, use VNC viewer to connect to Mary and Martha. In my reading of the archives, it appears that for this to work, my Firewall must be capable of port-forwarding, which the SOHO is not. My question is: Is there some other configuration I can use to connect over the internet to Mary and Martha? Thanks!

What do you mean by "server"? Do you mean your Watchguard is your so-called "server"? You know, in the context of this mailing-list, "server" could simply VNC server (either the program or the machine on which VNC server, of course). > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Envoyi : mercredi 4 fivrier 2004 17:46 > @ : Seak, Teng-Fong > Objet : RE: VNC behind Watchguard SOHO > > It works fine connecting to the SERVER.
