Actually this is the beautiful part... It's the remote user's desktop
that
you see in your vnc client :)
And you only have to set up portforwarding in your firewall if you are
behind NAT.
This is what I use on my machine for the listening client:
"C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" /listen 80
I execute the above command and then instructs the remote user to select
"add new client" in the ultra vnc server (winvnc.exe). The user then
types
my public IP::80 in the host name field and clicks OK.
I looked at the ultra VNC website now (havn't checked it for awhile),
and I
saw that they now have a few new tools for this purpose.
UltraVNC SC seems to be some mini-server that you can customize and is
designed to connect out to a listening client. They also have something
called NAT2NAT, which sounds interesting...
Hope this helps.
