If the hosts are on physically separate Internet connections then yes, you'll need a no-ip hostname for each of them and you may still need to establish port mappings for each device if they're each behind a separate firewall/router. If they are on the same connection behind one NATting router/firewall, you will need to configure port forwarding for each machine and map a public port for each device. In that case, one no-ip hostname will suffice. (For example, my home network has two machines with VNC on - I might have my router configured to forward connections from port 4000 to port 5900 on machine 1, and public port 5000 to port 5900 on machine 2. Then I just connect to 'myhostname.tld:5000' in the VNC viewer connection box to establish a connection - provided port forwarding is operational on the network then it 'just works' :) _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
