I'll have to go off and find a manual for your router to see how it lets you
configure port forwards, but it shouldn't be too complex. To set up multiple
port forwards on my router, I can define "local" and "remote" ports - the
remote port is the one which the public internet can see, and the local one
is the port on that particular machine. I type in the LAN IP of the machine
I want to forward a port for, enter its local IP (so for VNC, 5900) and then
pick a remote port which I'd like to make visible to the Internet.
 
If all eight PCs are on the same internet connection, you don't need the
No-IP software installed on all of them - they'll all be constantly updating
the same data and wasting bandwidth and server resources :)
 
I'll reply later with more info if you need it (I'm at work at the moment so
can't spend too long replying :)
 
Cheers
Chris

Dear Christopher:
 
I have only one rounter, a 2Wire 2701HG-T.
 
The router has already the port forwarding configured for Real VNC ports
(5800 and 5900 I guess). Right now it forwards to one of the PC's (the
server PC which has an Internet Caffe software installed) as I don't know
how to configure the others.
 
The "server" PC is just another Windows XP PC.
 
The router's external IP address is 189.xxx.xx.146.
 
All the PC's includying the one I can connect through my home PC are using
static IP addresses ranging from 192.xxx.x.65 through 192.xxx.x.72 for a
total of 8 PC's.
 
The PC's IP address that has the internet caffe software installed is
192.xxx.x.69
 
No-IP utility and Real VNC are installed on all 8 PC's and the host name is
set to papeleria.no-ip.org
 
I use this host name to connect to the server PC from my home using Real VNC
and it works with no problems.
 
Thanks for your help,

Roberto
