Hello,
Somehow I don't understand how to establish a krdc session over the internet.
My partner "invites" me per e-mail. I get an invitation that contains the link
vnc://invitation:xxxxx@192.168.2.2:0
which is of course his local IP and not usable to reach his computer over the internet... The partner is connected per ADSL using a router with DHCP. So his "internet-IP" and his "machine-IP" are variable.
Now, what do I have to type to get access to his machine thru the internet?
Your partner needs to get his/her public IP address, e.g. with http://www.whatismyip.org , and tell you that address (or sign up with dyndns.com). Then he or she needs to forward port TCP 5900 on the router to the PC on the inside. You then connect to the public IP address and it should then work. Theo -- Theo v.
