If you want to access your home machines via Internet, then definitely use SSH. Let's suppose that: - you are running SSH Server (SSHD) on your firewall. - you are running VNC Server on default port 5900 on each home machine. - you have a PC with vncviewer and ssh client that can access your home firewall over Internet. You do the following on the PC with vncviewer: 1. run ssh with options like this (example for Cygwin ssh and 3 home machines). The text between quotes is a single line: "ssh -L 5901:int_machine1_ip:5900 -L 5902:int_machine2_ip:5900 -L 5903:int_machine3_ip:5900 username@firewall_ip_or_hostname" 2. if you now want to access home machine1, you execute on your PC "vncviewer :1", if you want to access home machine2, you execute "vncviewer :2" etc. Best regards, Miro _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
