VNC, DNS2GO and DLINK 704 ROUTER

[Glenn Mabbutt]

On Windows, the "normal" server uses port 5900, the Java server uses port
5800, and if you have the viewer in "listen" mode (if you are using a
reverse connection), the viewer listens on port 5500.

The systems behind the router are using the DHCP server from the router.
And I can't redirect a port to a dynamic IP (seeing how it will change
after the lease is up).  I could setup static IP's but it's so much
easier with the DHCP.  Anyways there are only 5 computers (right now
anyways) on the network.  To configure the ports what do I need to do?
I see that you mention 59xx and 61xx I have also seen 58xx and 55xx.
What ports will I have to open to access VNC on the server machine with
my client?  Right now I haven't done anything on my clients router I am
trying it out on mine (two computers connected to router.  Instead of
using direct IP I use my dns2go.com (which redirects to my IP given by
my ISP) it always says no connection could be established) but haven't
been successful.  Thanks for the info.  Maybe the gateway option will
work. I'm gonna try it out.

Well, the method you use largely depends on how many PC's you have to
connect to on the far side.  VNC supports running on arbitrary ports, so
if
you only need to access a couple of machines, you could use "port
mapping"
and map the ports through the router (ie, somerouter.com:5900 goes to
192.168.1.5 port 5900, somerouter.com:6100 goes to 192.168.1.6:6100,
etc).

If the above isn't that easy to do on that router, you can look at a
"redirector" like rinetd (http://www.boutell.com/rinetd) - you would
simply
open ports on the far router to a machine running rinetd (say ports 200
-
300), and the rinetd machine would be set up to redirect the ports to
the
appropriate machines (ie, port 201 gets pointed to 192.168.1.5 port
5900,
port 202 gets pointed to 192.168.1.7 port 5900, etc)

Alternatively, there are a couple of "VNC gateway" software packages out
there, which would mean you would set up one box on the remote network
to
act as the gateway, and all you would to do is map to that one box.
Search
the mailing list archives and the "contributed" section on the VNC web
site.

Anyway, good luck.

Glenn

Does anybody know how to configure my router so that I would be able to
access my clients pc's that are behind this same router?
 
Here's what I want to do:
 
My pc --> My DLINK704 Router --> Internet --> Clients DLINK704 Router
--> VNC on pc 1,2,3,4,5
 
What I would be doing since we both have dynamic IP's would be to use
the DNS2GO service to access the IP.  I have not been able to even get
to the authentication screen.  Any help would be appreciated.
