Greetings,
I am running VNC behind a LinkSys router myself. This is what I found that
worked for me.
My setup: Server <=====> Router <====> ISP <=====> Dial up ISP<=====>
Viewer
Static (192.168.x.x Static (216.176.x.x )
DHCP (changes with each call)
This may also be a static address
It is assume that you have admin access to your router. Open the router
control and go to the Applications & Gaming.
in the boxes that follow put the following.
Port Range:
Application Start End Protocol Ip
Address Enable
VNC 5900 5901 TCP
192.168.x.x X
VNC Java 5800 5801 TCP
192.168.x.x X
This will allow anyone on the internet that knows your address and password
to connect to the VNC server.
If you wish to use a reverse viewer then add the following:
Vnc View 5500 5501 UDP
192.168.x.x X
Notes:
This is what worked for me.
I checked the manual for the Linksys router befsx41 and it has the same
setup as my router.
In the column "Application" is just a name tag to identify what the port is.
The start and end columns are the ports to be passed through
Protocol is self evident
IP address is the address of the VNC server. This is the inside address of
your lan machine.
Example: Internet to router ==> (82.1.1.123) Router Wan side / Router lan
Side ==> (192.168.0.13) Server
The enable box must be checked to activate the port forward.
It is my hope that this is of some help to you. Please understand that I am
by no means a expert. I just happen to
have been using a Linksys router and worked out the problems.
Sincerely,
Doyal
