Be gentle with me!

[John Pierson]

Ah the wonderful world of VNC.  I don't quite like the way this is setup
(display number means very little to people), but hey, it's still a good
little program.

First go to the Default properties of the VNC server.  See the "Display
Number"?  It's greyed out.  Uncheck the "auto" box, and change this number.

It adds that number to the port it uses... SO if you put 1 it'll use ports
5801 and 5901 respectively.  2 = 5802 and 5902, etc.  Just use a different #
for each computer and you're set.

I've read the faq's and the documentation and I think I see hints of how to 
do this, but I'm just not sure.

My problem:

I have 6 Win 98 SE machines set up behind a single router (Cayman 3220-H). 
I've managed to forward ports 5800 and 5900 to one of the machines and can 
connect very nicely too that one machine.

My question is how (specifically) do I set up the other machines so that 
they can also be addressed? I can forward additional ports to each machine 
on the router, I just can't figure out how to make the machines listen and 
respond on ports other than 5800 and 5900.

It seems to have something to do with registry changes, but I can't quite 
make them out and I'm reluctant to muck up the registry on one or more of 
the machines.

So, can some kind soul please point me to _explicit_ directions and/or give 
me directions through the list?

TIA!

Lee
