Connect to Computer B through Computer A

Post by burtlancaster »

OK here goes:

I have a computer "A" that is connected to the internet with a IP address of 83.83.83.83, computer "B" is connected to computer "A" via a local LAN connection with an IP address 192.168.0.101 and the local LAN IP of computer "A" is 19.168.0.100.

Computer "B" is the UltraVNC server and I want to connect to it?

I know I could just set computer "A" and "B" both as servers and connect to computer "A" then open another connection to "B", but I don't want to do that.

I'm a little confused as to what you are wanting, but I'll take a stab at interpreting it...

It looks like the internet connectivity of computer A is irrelevant as A and B will be communicating with each other over a LAN.

Install uVNC server on computer B and ensure its firewall allows incoming TCP on port 5900 (assuming default port is used). Run the uVNC viewer on computer A and connect to IP address 192.168.0.101 (computer B).

I think burtlancaster's problem is not viewing Computer B from A. His objective is to VNC to Computer B from somewhere else via internet (then obviously the connection must be going through Computer A)

A viewer can not act as router for rfb protocol.
Then he better put the repeater on PC A and use mode I.

I believe computer A has 2 network cards as most servers do that act as gateway firewall routers.

Like you would do with a router, you could port forward a special port (5901) to computer B:5900 and he could get in directly to A (5900) or B (5901)

Or as I would assume that B can get on the internet - ie out access is granted - he could reverse connect uvnc_server to his viewer using -autoreconnect - connect IP:port
