How to use two vnc ports to one IP

[darkking]

Hi,
I have a situation, where a user has a desktop pc and a laptop.
And I have forwarded port 5504 to his desktop pc and 5505 to laptop.
How can I describe this in helpdesk.txt
I don't want to type his name twice.
Like this:

[HOST]
Paul Külmoja-desktop pc (Tartu)
-connect WAN:5504 -noregistry

[HOST]
Paul Külmoja-laptop (Tartu)
-connect WAN:5505 -noregistry

Hoping to solve this situation somehow.

if the person is resonably computer literate, i would install a SSH daemon on his dektop PC, and when he uses his laptop, connect to the sshd, and create a 'REMOTE' tunnel from 5504:localhost:5504 ... then start the listener on laptop to port 5504

when the user connects to the SSHD, it opens a listening port on 5504 (providing the port isn't in use by the listening vncviewer) and forwards to the laptop

for the specifics on tunnel the setup, look at the putty manual.

hope this helps

tartu is the "helper" or the the person who need remote support ?

if the person who need help, single host is enough because is an outgoing connection, so you won't need to worry from where he start their SC from laptop or workstation.
vnviewer must listen before start SC
vncviewer -listen 5504

but if for reach the technician aka helper, who have 2 computers (laptop + workstation)
yes, you need open 2 port 5504 and 5505 only at the router of the technician (not opposite side)

vnviewer must listen before start SC
vncviewer -listen 5504
vncviewer -listen 5505
