1. You will need to know the externally-addressable IP of the network
you're trying to connect to
2. You will need to fwd ports on the router to the IP of the
destination (and hope its IP doesn't change) - I think it's 5800-5801
and 5900-5901. One is for the JAVA client and one is for the
application client
3. You will need to open up the firewall on the workstation you are
connecting to for the VNC Server exe
In the case of 1 being a dynamic IP, an account at DynDNS.org along
with some software can help you maintain a connection over time.
This is why I use LogMeIn - once it's installed, it's hands-off other
than for updates

Well, I've been looking at UltraVNC for a day or so, and I must have taken some
stupid pills with my other medication! I have no idea how to set things up so
that my wife can access her work computer from home.
Seems to me there oughtta be a simple, step-by-step doc for doing that but I
haven't found it.
I installed UltraVNC on her and my home computers on the same LAN. Should they
automagically find one another?
How is her home computer going to find her work computer behind a router?
On their forum, I've seen a reference to turning off the firewall! Is that a
requirement?
