Dear Christopher:
I have only one rounter, a 2Wire 2701HG-T. The router has already the port forwarding configured for Real VNC ports (5800 and 5900 I guess). Right now it forwards to one of the PC's (the server PC which has an Internet Caffe software installed) as I don't know how to configure the others. The "server" PC is just another Windows XP PC. The router's external IP address is 189.xxx.xx.146. All the PC's includying the one I can connect through my home PC are using static IP addresses ranging from 192.xxx.x.65 through 192.xxx.x.72 for a total of 8 PC's. The PC's IP address that has the internet caffe software installed is 192.xxx.x.69 No-IP utility and Real VNC are installed on all 8 PC's and the host name is set to papeleria.no-ip.org I use this host name to connect to the server PC from my home using Real VNC and it works with no problems.
