MessageI assume you want to do this "on the cheap".
I would think that you could set one of them up, but not both/all. (At least
not directly.)
Most home routers will allow one of the "LAN" devices to be set up as if it
were in a DMZ.
It passes some ports through to a specific MAC address without NATing them.
If your PC's are XP, maybe you could use something like Tight VNC (would
have to be an
application that encrypts the traffic) to connect to one of them. You could
then use Remote
Desktop Connection to "hop" to the other(s).
Driving over there is beginning to sound pretty good, isn't it?

Subject: [THIN] OT. PC Remote Control
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.
