[THIN] Re: OT. PC Remote Control

MessageMost DSL routers will let you do port forwarding. You just need to 
figure out which port your remote control software uses and forward that via 
the router to a specific PC.

I use PCDuo which allows me to specify which port I'd like to use on the 
client. So I set up the same IP externally, and then set up port forwarding 
inside to look something like this;

5110 --- 192.168.0.10
5111 --- 192.168.0.11
5112 --- 192.168.0.12 and so on.

On my remote software I tell it to connect to the public IP of the router and 
then append the correct port number.

          OK, wayyy off topic. 
          I need to be able to remote contorol a couple
          of PC's thru the Internet. These PC's are connected
          via DSL and are behine a NetGear DSL router which is
          also acting as the DHCP server. In fact, the PC that
          I will be contorlling them with is likewise set up.

          I have the IP address that the ISP assigned, which is now
          assigned to the DSL router. And obviously the IP addresses
          on the inside for the PC's are public addresses (192.168.0.x)

          Does anyone know of a product or method that will let me get
          to these PC's? It would be nice to do maintenance on them 
          from home instead of having to drive over there.
