Your VoIP box also acts as a garden variety router. It has the WAN IP (axternal IP assigned by your ISP) and multiple LAN IPs assigned statically by you or through the DHCP server on the router. Your router also has simple firewall functions so I would not use DMZ unless you have a compelling reason to do so. The two concepts you need to understand are: STATIC IPs and PORT FORWARDING.
Follow the instruction in your Router's user manual to view the LAN settings (you probably need to connect your browser to 192.168.1.1 and enter the initial password supplied) STATIC IP: I suggest you set up a static IP address for your computer. Choose something outside the range of the DHCP server. You must then change the network settings on your PC to NOT get the IP automatically, but to use the assigned IP instead. (Your DNS settings will also need to be static) An alternative, if your router supports it, is to set up DHCP to always assign the same IP address for your PC's MAC address. This would be prefered because it would require no additional configuration on your PC. PORT FORWARDING: Setup port forwarding for VNC (port 5900 to the static IP you chose for your PC) Your VNC configuration should now be equivalent to what it was before installing the VOIP box. P.S. I assume you already have a mechanism in place to let outside VNC clients find your WAN IP (assigned by your ISP) If you are using a DynDNS client or equivalent, you need to configure it so it knows your PC is now on a LAN. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James C.
