Since computer (B) is only connected to the internet through computer (C), computer (B) does not have an IP address assigned to it. When connected from computer (B) to (A), the connection goes through computer (C) to get to computer (A). So, if you want to get from (A) back to (B), you still have to go through (C).
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_forwarding for more info on this concept. -Clay On Wed, Nov 01, 2006 at 03:14:05PM +0200, Mircea Nanu wrote: > neither me or my friend can set up port forwarding on computer C. > > why do i have to create a connection > from a client on A to a server on B (trough C with port forwarding) > when we already have a connection from client B (run in -listen mode) > to server A (trough C with absolutly no port forwarding) ?? > > thanks anyway, > mircea. > > On 11/1/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >I would suggest setting up port forwarding on computer (C) so that you > >connect to port "x" > >on computer (C) over the internet, and over the LAN, computer (C) forwards > >all connections > >on port "x" to port "y" on computer (B). > > > >Hope this helps. > > -Clay > > > >On Wed, Nov 01, 2006 at 11:39:11AM +0200, Mircea Nanu wrote: > >> hi! > >> > >> I have my computer (A) accesible directly from the internet. > >> > >> my friend has a computer (B) in he's LAN, but he can't configure the > >> LAN firewall locatet on computer (C) -- C is also a router and all the > >> stuff :) > >> > >> i configured my free vnc server v4.1.2 > >> to listen to port 80, so my friend from computer B can see my desktop > >(A). > >> > >> is there a way for me to see he's desktop, once he is connected to me? > >> > >> i thought that if he connects using the viewer in -listen mode, i'll > >> be able to use the conenction that he initiates to see he's desktop. > >> so far, no success :( > >> > >> i guess in other words what i need is a way to use a once established > >> "remote desktop" connection both ways.. if vnc is not the right > >> program, is there other program that can help me? > >> > >> anyone can share a thought? > >> > >> thanks, > >> mircea. > >> _______________________________________________ > >> VNC-List mailing list > >> [email protected] > >> To remove yourself from the list visit: > >> http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list > > > >-- > >+---------------------------------+ > >| Clay Jordan | > >| | > >| e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] | > >| http://www.crazyclay.org | > >| http://www.gentoo.org | > >+---------------------------------+ > > > > -- +---------------------------------+ | Clay Jordan | | | | e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | http://www.crazyclay.org | | http://www.gentoo.org | +---------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
