I'll admit it. I'm a newbie. How do pick which machine to login to?
A friend help me get started with VNC on WinXP so I could provide
remote support for a client of mine. I wanted to be able to login to
the PC which is behind a cable modem and a DHCP router. All is well
on the first PC. My friend had me open up ports 5850 - 5950 on the
firewall which is a DLink router. We also found the current IP
address for the WinXP PC which I obtained from whatismyip.com. It is
a dynamic ip address from the cable company and it hasn't change yet
(6 weeks, same ip).
From my office I am able to login to the WinXP PC across the internet.
Now I installed RealVNC on 2 more WinXP boxes at my clients location.
When I went to whatismyip.com to see the ip address of these 2 new PC/
VNC servers they report the same ip address that I use to login to
the first PC.
I'm using Chicken of the VNC. For the machine I have been
successfully logging into I use Host = 24.15.XX.XXX Display = 0
Password = XXXXX. I thought I read somewhere that for the second PC/
VNC server I use Display = 1, third PC - Display = 2.
I am not able to login to the 2 new PC's that I installed RealVNC on
today. How do I login to PC#2 and PC#3? The password is the same on
all 3 VNC setups.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
