VNC to a server behind a NAT router

[Steve Bostedor]

It really depends on the router.  Some routers have a web-based management tool that makes it easy to "redirect" or "publish" a port to an internal server.  Some routers do not offer that feature at all and you'll be stuck with something like gotomypc.

Thanks, Steve.

How do you "publish the ports through the router"? Is this the same as "port
forwarding"? I have just read a message about this but have no idea how to
make it.

As many others, my configuration is a small LAN connected to the Internet
through an ADSL router that performs NAT, i.e. all the PC's have subnet IP
addresses (10.0.0.X), which means they cannot be accessed as such from a
remote VNC client through the Internet.

I know the public IP address of the router, but haven't found anything on how
to build an IP address for individual PC's in the LAN (the ones running VNC
servers) that can be addressed from a remote VNC client.

I also read the stories about DNS2GO, but it seems not to be applicable in
this configuration.

Any help?

Thanks in advance,

RR
