hello. i'm pretty new at VNCing and the only connection i've ever made was from my iBook to
my Powerbook through a network cable, from one computer to another.
now i'm faced with this project and i have to connect through the internet from my house
to another computer about 1500 miles away. it wouldn't be too bad to figure out except it'll
be a University system i'm going through and apparently a very protected one.
so, as i'm trying to gather as much info before i do this, i'm hoping for some advice.
so far i know that they use a private address. i have this info which was sent to me from
this school's net administrator:
132.236.47.51 IP
255.255.255.255 Subnet Mask
132.236.64.5 Router/Gateway
132.236.56.346 First DNS entry
128.453.890.3 Second DNS entry
if things look funny is because i've changed the numbers a bit but you can get the idea.
so if this is what i need to use to be able to connect, can it be done without getting any
tech guys to change anything in their system? in other words can i use my computers [both
computers in each location are mine, i'll be installing my iBook over there to be controlled]
with this settings and if so what needs to be done?
i'm currently using CotVNC on my Powerbook and Share My Desktop on my iBook.
thanks in advance.
