RealVNC: Need help in setting up multiple users behind a router. [port 5900] [realvnc]
Q: Im using RealVNC. I can a computer behind the firewall, because I opened port 5900 and setting the public and private IP addresses. But I am wanting to 10-15 computers behind the firewall, all with their own connection, would the employees etc.
How I go about setting this up on the extra computers? I tried adding songs to show, but found work since the port is open is only 5900 on the server side. Ive read about changing the port that the server is on, but I just do not see where to put it in the registry. Or what should I do on the router to “display the number of recognition” for the extra help computers.
Any?

well see that is dumb…cuz if i have 100 clients, i need to open 200 ports….not cool….then on top of that i have to know that computer #13 has IP address X, and uses port #'s Y.
That is where organization and a damn good memory comes in to play. All the ethernet drops are labeled with a #, I will just assign the # as the last # on the IP address. Pretty simple. Same for the port, just make the drop # the last 2 digits of the port #. Really really easy.

You are calling people "Dumb" because they spent time helping someone who asked for a solution concerning 10 computers.
On top of all you did not offer any solution.
So what is your solution Genius?

I discovered UltraVNC about 30 minutes after I posted, it does everything I need.Just so the peole will know what you are talking about.
Download the free:
Link to: Ultr@VNC 1.0.0 RC 11d. (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4143.html)
What the "heck" is Ultr@VNC?
Ultr@VNC is an Excellent Fast & Free Remote Control, and file transfer Program.
If you want to control a computer through the LAN, or and through the Internet it is the thing to use.
The program consists of one file; during installation it would ask whether you want to install the Server or the Viewer.
Install the Server on each Computer that you want to Control.
During installations check Yes to the Hook Options.
Once installed leave the default as is just change the Password.
Open port* 5900 in the Router for the VNC server computer. If there is software Firewall or any other TCP/IP interceptor open port 5900 as well.
Install the Viewer on the Computers that are going to be the Controllers**. Open Port* 5900 through the system (as you did with the server).
Using It.
Double click on the Utra@VNC server. A nice Blue Diamond Icon would appear in the TrayBar.
Start the Viewer on the Controller Computer. Type the IP of the VNC Server Computer and click on Connect.
If connected correctly the Password Box would popup. Type the password and enjoy.
*Note1. Ports ? You can use other ports (I suggest to stay around the same value 5800 to 5900 ).
The port assignment has to be changed in the Server.
When starting the viewer type the port number with the IP, using a : in-between.
Example: http://192.168.1.1:5850
**Note2. I want to control few computers on the same Network.
Assign each computer using different ports number; do not use the same port for more than one computer.
Open the ports for the corresponding IP number in the Cable/DSL Router?s Virtual Server. Open the same port in the software Firewall of the corresponding computer.
**Note3. You can Install both the server and the viewer on the same computer, and use the one or the other according to what you would like to do.
Took me much more time to write this than it takes to install and set the whole thing.:D
