So your IP is on subnet 138162.2.xxx which is a private subnet. When you connect ot VPN your computer will get another address from VPN side. What is that address? The external IP address of your vpn gateway does not matter in this case.

I appreciate the information, but, I am attempting to connect VNC with the
local LAN IP 198.162.2.abc.  This is after I connected the VPN on the
external IP address 70.abc.ad.ds

Dean:

        Sounds like you've found your problem. Since you make the VPN
connection to your customer's server *first*, then the IP address you need
to use for the target VNC Server should be your customer's
*internal* IP address -- something like 192.168.2.abc -- *not* their
external IP address (ie, the one you use to establish a original VPN
connection). Put another way, once you've "VPN'd" with your customer, you're
"virtually" on their LAN already (so you don't, as you ask, need to worry
about port forwarding).

cheers,
Scott


If I am understanding your question correctly, I am connecting to the route (customer's server) from outside the LAN (customer's). I am in my office with the Linksys router. First connection made to the customer's server is with the Sonic Wall Global VPN Client, which works fine. Second connection attempt is with either VNC or Dameware,

which times out.


Customer's network is setup on 192.168.2... LAN and my network is set up with 192.168.0..... Network.


If I am connecting via VPN connection, do I even need to set up port forwarding? And if so, do I need it set up on the Linksys Router in my
office which is sending the request to the other network?   I have tried
this.
