Re: Remote Access to multiple PC's on a network

I neeed remote access to multiple PC's running XP behing a Linksys router. I
think Windows Remote Desktop (RTP) used port 6830, however I need to be able
to access eight Peer to Peer Networked PC's that all access the internet
through a Linksys router and T1 with 10 static IP's.

I've already put a static IP on each PC. How to I remotely connect to each
individual PC behind the router with Remote Desktop?

Thanks,

Tony

As Bob noted you can open multiple holes on your router...

Or you could setup a VPN or SSH tunnel and only open one hole on the router and access any PC through that. Here is a SSH method that uses copSSH (the server package) and PuTTY (a free SSH client).

If you use Tunnelier (another free SSH client) versus PuTTY...

An added benefit of using a SSH tunnel (or a VPN for that matter) is you can use a private/public key pair protected by a strong password for authentication.
