Hello,

I am setting up a network with a firewall, and there will be 2 machines in
this network that will run vnc server (version 3.3.3). There will be,
obviously, 2 machines on the outside running vncviewer to remotely connect
in to the closed network. I am not sure how I can get the outside vncviewer
to connect to the proper inside vnc server. I know vnc runs on port 59xx, so
it seems logical to me to forward port 5900 to computer #1 on the network,
and have that server listen on that port, and forward port 5901 to computer
#2 on the network, and have that server listen on that particular port. Am I
right in this assumption, and if so, how do I tell the server to listen on
that particular port, and how do I tell the vncviewer to go to that port
from the outside? Hopefully this makes some sense. Thanks.
