Accessing a machine on the Intranet?

[Glenn Mabbutt]

Yes, if it's just the one box, you can have your gateway redirect incoming
port 5900 (public IP) to port 5900 on the internal address of the Windows
machine.  Exactly how you accomplish this depends on what the GW is running
as a firewall/gateway.

Note that doing this is completely unencrypted, if you want security you'd
have to look at a secure tunnel solution like SSH or zebedee.  Search the
mailing list archives with these keywords for more details.

Subject: Accessing a machine on the Intranet?


Hi,

If this was answered before, I apologize and a reference to that answer 
will suffice.

I would like to be able to access a machine that is on the Intranet from 
the outside.  Basically what I have is a Linux gateway machine which allows 
me to login from the Internet and to connect to the Intranet.  One of the 
machine on the Intranet is a Windows NT machine which I need to be able to 
access in order to to be able to remotely start/stop stuck services.

The Windows machine is NOT visible from the outside.

Is there a way to use VNC with some kind of a 'redirector' on the GW 
machine so that I can control the Windows box from the outside?

Thanks,
Avi
