Re: Prot Forwarding

Hi

Al's SSH method (as described above) would be the best.

However if your connection cannot deal with SSH.

To distinguish between computers that are behind a Router you need to
configure the remote control programs to use different ports on each
computer.

This page (toward the end) describe this method with VNC, However the same
principle can be used for RDT, pcAny, or ant other remote control program
that let you configure the ports in use.

If you do not have more space in the Router's virtual server. You can save
few entries by opening the ports in bands. E.g., if port 1000, 1100, 1200,
taking each one an entry, you can put one entry for ports 1000-1200. There
is however a security drawback in using this method, you end up with many
ports that are opened and are not used.

Otherwise, you would need a new router that has more ports to begin with.
