Ports and stuff

[James IWD]

Thanks John

Ive tried it again going back through everything and Ive used the default 
port of 5900. For security I wanted to use 1650 (randomly picked as 
something I would remember) but it only works on 5900 even though setting it 
within the NAT tables the same as 5900. Anyway, it works again localy but 
correct me if Im being stupid. I want to test it externally. I would just 
simply type my external IP into the connection string ie a.b.c.d:5900 and 
that would enable me to remote to my local machine but via my ISP...is that 
right??? It seems logical but I might be missing something. If it is right 
then why Im I getting still a connection refused.


My D-Link Config;

      Name               Private IP             Protocol 
Schedule
      VNCServer     192.168.0.151     TCP 5900/5900     always

      My Voyager Config;

      NAT Rule - Detail
      NAT Rule Information
      Rule ID:   1
      Rule Flavor:   Virtual Server
      IF Name:   ALL
      Protocol:   ANY
      Local Address From:   192.168.0.151
      Local Address To:   192.168.0.151
      Global Address From:   0.0.0.0
      Global Address To:   0.0.0.0
      Destination Port From:   5900
      Destination Port To:   5900
      Local Port:   5900


      PS: I only need to remote onto 1 pc 192.168.0.151 so the other 2 on 
the network are disallowed for remote desktop anyway.

      Thanks
      James
