Question : Problem: Setting up UltraVNC
|
|
I want to allow users to connect to a spare machine in the office. I have installed UltraVNC on the server and i can connect to it remotely if i use our public IP address.
However i do not want users connecting to the server. How can i configure UltraVNC to connect to another machine on the network?

If you setup the router to forward the default port to the spare machine. Then uou cannot connect to the server from the internet. That's why you need to setup the router to forward the default+1 port to the spare machine. ( 5590+1 = 5591 or whatever the default port is )
If someone is conencting to the spare machine from the internet he will connect to publicIP:port If someone is connecting to the spare machine from your local intranet he will connect to intranetIP:port
There will be no changes to the server.
www.portforward.com have a nice port-forwarding-how-to for most routers
another thing.. make sure you set a VNC password You don't want some thugs to connect to your machine from the internet !!!
