Nate:
Heya. Am working now on enhancing Kaboodle to make what
you're trying to do a lot easier. Version 0.75 can be used to
securely tunnel the connection of one VNC viewer to one VNC server
on the same LAN. Version 0.80 will allow a VNC viewer to connect
to *multiple* VNC servers on a LAN thru a single "VNC gateway"
machine.
So, you'd only need to modify your Netgear box to let
one connection thru, for Kaboodle's VPN connection. After that,
you could tunnel multiple sessions thru it to your Win2k servers.
The dev team here tells me it'll be ready to go by the end of
February. No, really. :)
I'll keep you (and the list) posted of course. More info
at kaboodle.sf.net. Hope it proves useful to you!
cheers,
Scott
PS: Regarding your NetGear box, it sounds like you've got
port 5901 on the outside forwarded to port 5901 on the
internal box. Does the VNC server on the internal machine
know that? :) Most NAT'ing firewalls let you send one
port across the firewall to any other port. So, you could
map port 80 to port 5900 if you really wanted to. The
NetGear box *may* be a bit less enthusiastic, and keeps
the same port number. So try changing your internal
machine's "display number" and see if that flies. Good
luck!
