(Windows 2000)
I don't know if this helps anyone or not but here goes...
I successfully connect to computers running VNC internally just fine, no
glitch. But to access one behind NAT, using port mapping is a trick.
The issue is in the system tray. I run VNC internally as a service with
no system tray icon on Windows 2000 machines. Connecting via VNC,
externally, to the machine directly connected to the internet is also
fine. But when I try to get to machines via port mapping...no luck.
For some reason just mapping the ports does not work. (Odd) In order
for VNC to work whether via web browser or vncviewer, WinVNC had to be
running with the '-servicehelper' command line option. (Which places it
in the system tray)
Hope that helps someone.
BTW: I am not too keen on this for several reasons:
1. I don't want persons internally to the tray icon. They
could possibly shut the service completely off or see a person enter
their machine. (We watch persons activities on a random basis.)
2. It works internally...why not externally??
