Hi I have set up a computer that is at a school and I would like to
administer it from our office, The setup is as follows

The Internet sharing computer is WIN98 Second edition it has a modem that
dials into us.

I have the connection working great and I have VNC installed on the computer
and that works fine from inside the network. but when I try and connect from
outside it doesn't connect to VNC.

The things I think is happening is that the VNC is not looking at the right
IP address?
the computer's network card is 192.168.0.1 but when it dials in to us it
gets another IP address of 203.19.5.XX where XX is the IP We give it on the
dial up adaptor.

Or that I need to map port 5800 with win 98 ICS.

I don't need to look at any of the computers on there network only the win98
that is physically connected to the Internet.

I have search the VNC archives and found ref to Mapping ports but I can not
work out how to do it on the WIN98 ICS.  I found one file that said how to
map the ports on Microsoft knowledge base but is said to make this file and
name it .INF then use the right mouse button to install it but when I look
at the file I cant install it grrrr...


Any help would be grateful
