Subject: RE: [uml-devel] UML remote GUI problems Date: Wednesday 16 February 2005 20:12 From: Greg Furlong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Blaisorblade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hey I just wanted to ask you if what I am doing is possible to do. To recap what I am trying to do is to have a host machine and set up tun/tap networking between the host and a number of UMLs I then want to be able to remotely access the UML using something like VNC or some other remote desk top viewer. What I dont understand about connecting to the UML is that when i connect to my host machine useing VNC I use the hosts IP address but if I wanted to connect to the UML then I would need to use its IP address but the problem is that it is a virtual IP address. I understand that the host is acting as a router so port forwarding would need to be set up to forward the connection to the UML but how would I could I set up the port forwarding on the fly.
