Question regarding port numbers.

[Scott C. Best]

Steve:

 	Heya. Some info here on your VNC port-number questions:

http://faq.gotomyvnc.com/fom-serve/cache/64.html

 	This describes how to setup the port-forwarding so that
you can access each of your 4 PC's individually, at the same time,
from the same location, with 4 independent VNC sessions. You
can't access them all with only *1* VNC session, which I think
you may be asking.

cheers,
Scott

> 1. Given that the router assigns its own IP addresses to each PC in our

>
> 2. Can we assign ports other than 5900 to the other PC's?
>
> 3. Can the VNC server recognize and establish communications through other
> port numbers?  If so, what port numbers should we assign to each PC.

> One last question.  Realistically, excluding the impact of slow connect
