New to SC. Need Help

Post by DoubleJ92 »

I am new to using VNC and SC. I have read through the guide on how to set up SC but I am still confused. I have a D-Link DFL-300 Firewall and am confused about setting up the port forwarding. I think I have it set up correctly, but how does SC know what port is open on the Firewall? Any help is appreciated.

SC don't know what port opened to your firewall except if you indicate to your helpdesk.txt of SC should use port 5500

SC partner outgoing port 5500 ---> nat router --> Internet --> nat router/firewall ---> vncviewer listening port 5500 (ingoing)

So in helpdesk.txt do I give my public IP with the port that I forwarded?

Example:

My computer's IP is 192.168.1.3
My Firewall's Public IP is 123.456.78.9

If I open port 1234 on my router and tell it to forward to 192.168.1.3:5500 would I put 123.456.78.9:1234 in helpdesk.txt?
