: Nate Harel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : I have a small network with several machines running Win2000. I am using a : Netgear router as the front end firewall and I route the ports 5800 and : 5900 to a specific machine running VNC server. : : However, I have several machines running the VNC server and when I am : travelling I want to be able to connect to these machines in my network. : Not just one of them. : : I had done this once by forwarding ports 5800/5900 to machine A, 5801/5901 : to machine B, etc. This was on a different router. When I changed to the : Netgear router, I can't seem to do this any longer. The only one that : responds is the machine on 5800/5900. No others respond.
The netgear should do that forwarding; but I do note that some cheap routers are incapable of it. Some, for example, only allow you to forward to the same port on a machine on the private net. In which case: you should be able to get to the one machine that works via vnc, then run vncviewer on that machine to reach the others. A horrible kludge, performance suffers, but it may serve as a workaround until you get the forwarding problem unsnarled. Just a thought.
