Greetings - I recently made a rather silly mistake while setting up firewall/NAT rules for a VNC Server, and after reflection, I thought that documenting it might be of some help to others.
I created a rule to NAT tcp requests to port 5900 for a VNC Server host. Then I mistakenly set (and limited) the incoming port (range) to 5900 also. Point to remember: While you should specify the exact port(s) that will be forwarded "to", you need to leave the "incoming" port range open - unless you have a specific reason to limit incoming requests to only those from a known port. The incoming port range is different than setting rules to limit incoming network addresses. I hope my mistake may help others who are setting up their firewall/NAT routings. Special thanks to Scott Best who prodded my thinking in the right direction!
