Hello! Actually...this solution worries me:
> 1. Go to "Network and Dialup Connections"
> 2. Double-click on the network card that is connected to the Internet
> 3. Hit the Properties button
> 4. Hit the Sharing tab
> 5. Hit the Settings button
> 6. Hit the Services tab
> 7. Hit the Add button
> 8. Fill in:
> Name of Service: "VNC"
> Service Port Number: 5900
> Name or Address of server...: 192.168.0.1
> 9. Hit the OK button and close all the dialogs.
This may sound weird...but...despite the fact that
it works (hee), what I *think* this Win2k "sharing" thing
was meant to do is to provide external access to services
running on *other* machines in your LAN. You're (mis)using
it to connect to the internal interface of the firewall machine
itself.
What you may want to try instead is changing the
firewall itself: simply open port 5900 on the "internet
side" of your Win2k box. Network-Properties-Protocols-
TCP-Properties-Advanced-Enable Security (phew).
This may be better for you, as you'll be able to
indicate the *source IP* from which you'd be willing to
accept VNC connections. As you have it now, anyone can
reach the VNC server on your firewall...and we know who
you are from the IP# in your email headers. :)
Just a thought.
