Angelo, Firstly, thanks for the offer of help. I am glad to know that.
Yes, PC1--->SRV1 is working perfectly but not SVR1 (listening)---->PC2. I was able to chain 3 computers before using purely VNC but all three computers has static IPs, so it was a breeze. The screen update has its delay alright but its better than not at all. This is my first attempt chaining 3 computers with 2 not having a static IPs not to mention that their Dynamic Public IP is not forwarded to Private IP. As for option number 1, I think I cannot implement that for the meantime. Option number is a candidate though I am not familiar with the nitty gritty of SSH and VPN. I have a working knowledge of VPN but I am completely unfamiliar with SSH. Any help you can throw to me would be appreciated. -Cesar -----Original Message----- From: Angelo Sarto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 6:35 PM To: Cesar Dela Paz Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: FW: SelectObject to CompatbleDC failed Ahhh, I see what you are trying to acomplish. I would try this PC1 (vncviewer) ---->SRV1(VNC SERVER) this works ok, correct? then SRV1 (vncviewer) --->PC2(VNC Server) unfortunatley in this situation you may experience some issues due to update delays on both clients. the situation you are trying to create (pc1--->pc2 direct) would only be possible in two scenarios (that I know of) 1. You have access to at least one router. If you can configure either router then you can make this work. 2. using a tunneling protocol. Set up a SSH server on SRV1 that allows access to the inside LAN (i.e. PC2) Install an SSH clicent on PC1 on pc1 initiate an SSH connection with the server on pc1 open a connection to pc2. what you may be trying to accomplish is actually #2. But what you are looking for is SSH or VPN or someother form of transparent tunneling. (I guess you could also try RAS on the server but I usually dont recommend that.) If you are interested insetting up SSH try searching this/other vnc mailing lists. If you need help post back and I will help you if I can. --Angelo On Mon, 04 Oct 2004 09:56:33 +0400, Cesar Dela Paz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Angelo, > > Thanks for the information about port 5500.
