Im using RealVNC. I can get one computer behind the firewall, because I opened up port 5900 and setup the public and private IPs. However, I am wanting 10-15 computers behind the firewall all with their own connection , for employees etc.

How would I go about setting this up on the additional computers? I tried adding display numbers, but that didnt work since the port that is open is still just 5900 on the "server" side. Ive read about changing the port that the server runs on, but I just dont see where to put it in the registry. Or what do I need to do on the router to recognize the "display number" to go to the additional computers.

Any help?

It's pretty easy actually

On the client machines:
Give every user a different Display ID (user1=01, user2=02, etc.)

On the Router:
Map the Port 5901 to User1's IP address, Port 5902 to User2's IP address, etc...

(the only requirement is that you have static IP addresses for every client)
