Hello, I have Win2K machine at home I want to access from work. The machine is on an ADSL connection behind Linux/iptables-based firewall (under my control). I have open few ports to the Internet from my work, I chose tcp/21 (ftp). My idea is to forward port 21 on firewall to 5900 on the Win2K VNC server box. That should be piece of cake with DNAT:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 21 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.1:5900 Quick check with telnet: ld01ad06:~$ telnet voyager.lupomesky.cz 21 Trying 194.149.109.187... Connected to 194.149.109.187.adsl.nextra.cz. Escape character is '^]'. RFB 003.008 Fine, everything is OK, NAT and forwarding works. I start RealVNC viewer app and give it "voyager.lupomesky.cz::21" as destination. It connects (the "Attempting to connect" window disappears), but nothing else happens. The connection is established, but VNCviewer just hangs. I checked the traffic with tcpdump to ensure NAT and forwarding works -- yes, it does. I tried to connect to VNC server locally, it works as well. So what else can be wrong? Please don't write me about how it's insecure to open VNC port to outside etc., I know what I'm doing.
