No. That's not how network addresses are assigned. There is no significance whatsoever to which port of the router the computer is plugged into. There might, for instance, be multiple computers attached to the same port on the router. Please contact your router manufacturer for documentation on how to use their product. > That might be enough to get things going, until I can figure > out how on earth I'm supposed to know every single port that > every other program might need so that I can do selective > port forwarding. Programs that need ports forwarding by your router will state which ports they need to have open in the documentation in the same way as VNC does. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
