guruuno1 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Maybe one of you knows the answer. I have a customer with Mac computers. I have my Mac/Thinkpad. Carole has a MacBook. I tested this the other day at home, I know it works....read on. I installed Apple Remote Desktop 3.0 on my Thinkpad/Mac. I deploy-install the Remote client to all PC's via thumb drive. I can remotely view, control, manage, etc., Carole's MacBook from my ThinkPad/Mac, proving the system works as advertised. Here is the problem: When testing my Thinkpad/Mac with her MacBook, it's internal to the network, so I use the NAT address (192.168.XXX.XXX). Works. At my clients, I have the REAL WORLD IP from the router, installed the software, and from home, cannot connect. (WAN IP ADDRESS) I 'scan' the Network Address remotely, get a reply/addition from the router (real world IP), that's it. I'm not too sure on how it's done on the Mac, get no helpful results on Google. On the PC, I have this working flawlessly with RDP (Remote Desktop) by using Port Forwarding in the router to the RDP port of each PC. I changed the RDP port, as an example, in each PC's registry to be: (XP world) PC1=3389--and Port forward in the router 192.168.1.100--\ PC2=3390--and Port forward in the router 192.168.1.101----|>PC's with FIXED IP's PC3=3391--and Port forward in the router 192.168.1.102--/ And so on. It all works. I can't find any documentation for doing what I want to do with the Mac, yet I'm sure it can. Anyone???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
