What the best way around this situation? I know its probably simple. Say for example, I have an employee that I am trying to remote into his machine and do some work. He or she is behind a personal router and has a ip address of 192.xxx. Normally, I can connect through my vpn to them if they have a 172.xxx address but that is not possible. So how can I connect to them by live meeting, netmeeting, or any other app that needs their ip address if they are behind a router with a 192 etc ip address? I know this is simple but I can't think of how to do this.
msn has a remote desktop that u can use, also there is a number of tools, i think one is called remote admin but 1 pc needs the admin control pannel and other has the client... If thats the correct name we use it a lot at work...... but now being the weekend..... i cant tell you 100% if the name is correct... here is a link to 1 http://www.radmin.com/
logmein works wonders. Otherwise, you can set up port forwarding for your favourite RDC program on the personal router, so when you access the router with it's external IP : port# address, it should forward to the computer concerned. At least, I'm pretty sure that's right; I used to something like this with OpenVPN at school...
Hmm so do mean. Lets say for example the ip address of 65. 123. 123.1. Do you mean try something like 65.123.123.1:1? 1 being the port of the person behind the router?
The way we did this at work was to use a VPN and then use VNC down the tunnel. Works well if you have a good upload on your home connection. Other than changing 172 to 192 in your VNC client, it should work.
