Use the WinNT Port security option to block inbound access to <your vnc
port here> on the adapter you don't want it on.  A more secure setup would
be to block all that you _don't_ want on that adapter...

Hi all,
Okay, I need to be able to control WinVNC from only one NIC in a dual NIC
computer.
Essentially I am setting up a NAT/File Server/Print Server and I want to be
able
control this machine from inside the NAT, but not allow anyone from the
outside to
have control.  I am using Win2K server.  I have tried to use the AuthHosts
registry
settings, but I'm still able to connect from either side.  The AuthHosts is
currently set to "-:+192.168.0", this this being the IP addresses that the
DHCP on
this server is assigning out.
