I need to figure out, in general terms, since it's an increasingly common situation, how to connect my viewer on private network A to my server on Private network B with the internet in between.
Before I put the firewall on network B, I could connect to the server no problem. Now, I need to know how to configure firewall on network B to make a connection again.
Also when I put the address in the connect dialog box, do I use the WAN address of the router on Network B, and then it says "Ah Hah!. Someone making a connection on Port 5900 must want to talk to the server..."?
What I have done is make the public port and the private port on Network B's firewall/router 5900, and I've made the target a virtual server with port 5900 open. If I'm missing the boat totally on this, let me know.

A)
If you don't set the incoming port manual, a firewall ( like XP sP2) does not detect the port and block it.
Outgoing ports are detected.
Viewer 5900 (Firewall detect port and ask permission)
-->Server 5900. By default the Firewall block the incoming port 5900.
No questions asked by the firewall, you need to manual enable
that port.
B)
Nat/router need to forward port 5900 to the server running
the winvnc
Hopes this help.
