Re: OT: Remote Access To Someoby Else's PC?



Per eskimo:
Optionally I use VNC or secure VNC
which is easier but has some issues with Vmware I cannot ignore.

I stumbled on to something called "RealVNC".
http://www.realvnc.com/products/personal/4.3/

Works like a champ with two PC's side-by-side once I opened up
ports 5800 and 5900 on the server PC.

But I'm connecting by specifying local IP address.

Seems like a piece is missing for when the other box is 100 miles
away on the end of a DSL modem.

Or is it as simple as calling up IpChicken on the other end,
getting the public address of that PC, and entering it on the
client end to connect?

I'm thinking the answer is "No" bco the possibility of many PCs
hanging on that DSL modem.

If that's the case, what's the term for the missing piece?
Something with "tunnel" in it's name?
