[vox-tech] VNC behind a router

[Jay Strauss]

I think what you want to do is port forward the VNC port(s) (5901) to your
internal box, that is:

if your friends linksys box (lets say) has a WAN address of 216.101.10.10
and an internal address of 192.168.1.1.
and your friends M$ box has an IP of 192.168.1.101.

then you'd configure the linksys to port forward ports 5901 - 5901 to
192.168.1.101

then you'd (from your house) run VNC, going to IP 216.101.10.10:1
