VNC List: I am having some trouble setting up my RealVNC on some computers behind my Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I have a basic understanding of how everything works, but I'm getting tangled up in the port forwarding and DHCP stuff.
Here is the main problem: On my server desktop, I am running VNC Server along with DynDNS Updater so I can keep up with the dynamic Comcast High-Speed IP address. Therefore, when I type in xxx.dyndns.org, I should be able to access my computer. Here is the problem however: Sometimes when I restart the desktop with VNC server, the IP address will change (192.168.1.102 to 192.168.1.106). When it switches IPs, 106 does not have port forwarding on and I can no longer access it. Because I am still running testing, I simply open up port 5900 on 192.168.1.106 and the xxx.dyndns.org address will work out fine. Attempting to access it via the actual IP address (192.168.1.106) works fabulously. I just can't seem to figure out how to keep up with the DHCP giving me new IPs. (Keep in mind, the above testing deals with all LAN-side testing.) I have tried setting a static IP, but I don't know the DNS information, so I think that contributed to my loss of Internet. What other options are there? Thanks!
