Rob:
Heya. You got the right idea with port-forwarding one port
for one machine, and another port for another. The part your missing
is what VNC calls a "Display Number". If you tell your VNC Server
to listen on "Display 1", it will expect connections on port 5901.
If you tell a VNC Viewer to connect to a server on "Display 5", it
will try to connect to a server on port 5905.
So a VNC Display number and a TCP port number are related
simply by "5900 + N", where "N" is the Display Number.
Given that, it should be easy enough for you to see how to
get the Server ad Viewer to use different display numbers (by default,
they'll both use zero). Hope that helps enough to get you connected!
