In other words, the traffic path looks like this: HOME <--> RAS NIC 1 <--> RAS NIC 2 <--> WORK I will assume that the RAS server is doing NAT and all the machines on the WORK subnet have the usual 192.* or 10.* IP range. > SO...

This is the same situation as port-forwarding through a DSL or cable router. Unless something on the RAS box is doing full routing between NIC1 and NIC2 (very unlikely) you'll have to bounce through the RAS server in the way you're doing OR forward the port over. If you can configure things on the RAS box, it will be the same as the port-forwarding info in the FAQ, although exactly what it looks like is dependent on what OS the RAS box is running. Just set it up to forward incoming connections on port NNNN of NIC1 (whatever you like) to port 5900 on your laptop's IP or machine name (which will be in the NIC2 address range) and you'll be good to go. -- Derek _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
