complicated VNC connection

Tue Sep 12 17:46:01 2006

  just to be clear on the set up:

 i will be bringing my iBook to the university then plug into the wall jack
 in this room which will be hooked to the university's network which is online.
 i have to get my PowerBook hooked up through the internet using CotVNC [the free
 edition] and Share My Desktop [on the iBook] so i can control the iBook set up in the
 university.

 so i guess i have to go in 'Preferences' of my iBook and choose 'Network' then under
 TCP/IP use 'Manual' settings and enter the info i have from the school administrator,
 is that correct? also, they gave two DNS entries so should i just write both of them under
 'DNS Servers' ?

 i did read the FAQs but it didn't clear my fuzziness so i apprreciate all the help........

  Not complicated at all.  I'm supposing you are controlling the computer
that's NOT at the university right?  If so, that's the client.  The other PC
will be running the server.

 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.
