Lars,
Is your problem that both the remote computer (the one you want to access), and
the local computer (the one you want to access from) both have problem routers?
Or is the problem for you, as it was for me, that configuring the remote
computer is a problem, even though you can access and configure your local
computer and router OK?
If the latter, what you need is to setup a Listening Viewer on your local
computer, and have the remote computer connect its server to your listening
viewer. In effect, even though the remote computer is the server (provides the
desktop to be controlled), the router on the remote computer doesn't need any
forwarded ports. Your local computer is accessed, as if it's a server, by the
remote computer.
With RealVNC, I setup two shortcuts on the remote computer, one to start the
server, and the second to connect the server to my listening viewer. No
forwarded ports, or any other tweaks, to the remote router.
I have to forward the RealVNC Listening Viewer port (I'm not using 5500 either)
to my local computer, but I only start my Listening Viewer when I'm going to be
controlling the remote desktop. At other times, the forwarded port goes
nowhere. So no security problem there either.
