this is gonna need a seriously complicated soloution i think, but if you know anything, please read on... Right, i'm running Mac OSX, and have OSX-Vnc running as a server on it, then i want to pick up the signal (or run vnc - whatever you will) at school, using the Real VNC program, on computers either running Windows 98/2000/ XP. Ive got both programs set up and running, and i know the Real VNC works on the PC's im trying to run it on, as a mate tried on his. But here are the two problems; 1] Will it work cross platform (Looking at my Mac from the Windows PC's) 2] I'm behind a Firewall Router. I dont think [1] is really a problem, but i'm sure it's [2] thats stopping me. I cant find out my real I.P. address as the router somehow changes it [i think/have been told] and do i need to/can i, disable the firewall on the router. I've not got a firewall or any software that would stop it running on the mac, but i think theres a firewall on the actual router. The router is a NETGEAR DG834G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router, and my mac is accessing it wirelessly (not sure if that makes a difference) If anyone can help, i would really appreciate it Thanks in advance $h€€rm00n

Cross platform is no problem. Enable the FW to allow the VNC port (I can't remember what it is). Also make sure the the OS X built-in FW is not on. You can also use a program called Putty and access your Mac using SSH tunneling, which means sending the VNC packets encrypted on port 22 (SSH). Google for it. That should do it. Joe
