This will cause your router to catch the message at the external NIC, and forward it to your internal machine on that port (or the forwarded destination port).</div> <div> </div> <div>Assuming your router is at address 137.66.27.6 and your internal machine is configured as 168.192.1.10, then you would have configured port forwarding on your router such that 137.66.27.6:5901 -> 168.192.1.10:5901. From the public net, you would enter the following into the VNC client connect dialog: 137.66.27.6:1 (the :1 is the display number, and the port 5901 was chosen as the port for VNC display 1 - if you were taking over display 0 - the physical display - then you would have configured port 5900, not 5901). The client knows to use port 5901 because it takes the display number you specified (1) and adds that value to the base VNC port number (5900) to get 5901.</div> <div> </div> <div>Hope this helps,</div> <div> </div> <div>John</div> <div> </div> <div>-----<br> John Calcote (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:jca...@no...">jca...@no...</a>)<br> Sr. Software Engineeer<br> Novell, Inc.<br> <br> <br> >>> On Wed, Jan 31, 2007 at 2:26 PM, in message <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:45C...@fu..."><45C...@fu...></a>, Michael Fullmer <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:mi...@fu..."><mi...@fu...></a> wrote:<br> </div> <div style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(5, 5, 5); margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px; padding-left: 7px; background-color: rgb(243, 243, 243);">I've installed the program and done the router port stuff but when I <br> open the viewer on the other computer I don't know which IP address to <br> put in or how to connect.
