First and foremost you have to map that port to somewhere... NAT is funny in that you cant jsut tell it "this port is open to everything" at least not the majority of nat applications I've worked with. if the machine you want to get to is say 192.168.0.2 then you will have to tell the router that port 5900 is open to ip 192.168.0.2... you generally HAVe to input a specific IP...
Now if you are trying to connect to more than one PC behind the firewall it's a different story... Over and beyond the first IP it's difficult to do unless you can find someway to remotely initiate a session the only way I know of to do this easily is to map the port to one machine...vnc to that machine and then open a vnc session on that machine to any others inside the firewall... I'm sure theres a way to specify what port to use in a client session but i've never messed with it (IE: map port 5901 to a different ip and specify 5901 on your client etc) Personally I have a win2k server setup with terminal services enabled so I terminal into the server and vnc to any other machines on the LAN from there....vnc works MUCH better in a terminal session by the way...

I am having problems configuring the firmware to open up ports >5800 and >5900. In short, when I try to connect to a PC inside the LAN from the outside, the WebRamp is blocking the VCN access (it uses a firewall, of course). Any suggestions would be greately appreciated.
