Setting up VNC Server and viewer

[Scott C. Best]

Jaroslaw:

 	Heya. Similar to Jerry's suggestion, if you run a tunneling
utility (like SSH, EchoVNC, or even a SSL VPN) across the router, you
don't need to open one-port-per-PC.
 	For VNC, it's relatively easy to workaround this limitation,
obviously. But for other apps that use a set of TCP/UDP ports, a
tunnel may be the only scalable solution.

cheers,
Scott
