Hi Steve!
I'm sure it depends on which router you have, but the way I accomplish this with our Linksys router is on the Applications and Gaming tab, under UPnP Forwarding.
I leave the host PC's set up to receive connections at 5900. From the outside, I can access host pc#1 via port 5901, host pc#2 via port 5902, etc. The linksys router forwards the request on port 5901 to pc#1's IP on port 5900. Requests coming in on port 5902 are forwarded to port 5900 on pc#2's IP, etc.
You could assign different port #'s for each pc but it doesn't help you solve anything if your router is also being used as a firewall. Doing as I have done is easy to configure and manage, providing that the ip's of your host pc's on your network are retained for a reasonable period of time.
I don't know the answer to your question about multiple views of the same host, sorry.
Hope that helps . . .

Subject: Question regarding port numbers.
Several questions.
Background info:
We have a small LAN and use a Linksys router. We are interested in installing VNC Personal Edition for Windows Version 4.1.1 on four of our PCs.
Questions:
1. Given that the router assigns its own IP addresses to each PC in our network (192.168.1.101, 102, 103, etc.) how do we assign port numbers to each PC so that each of the 4 PCs in the network can be access concurrently... if this is possible?
2. Can we assign ports other than 5900 to the other PC's?
3. Can the VNC server recognize and establish communications through other port numbers? If so, what port numbers should we assign to each PC.
One last question. Realistically, excluding the impact of slow connect speeds, how many people are permitted to connect to one server to see what an instructor is doing on the desktop of that server.
Sincerely,
Steve
