The model number of my modem linksys modem is WRK54G. Alright so let me get this straight. When I go into my configuration of my router, there are three different types of port fowarding; port range fowarding, port triggering, and UPnP fowarding. Which one of these do I need, and how do I configue it so that I can connect to one of my home pc's via my static IP from an outside interent network, in this case my work. At work i am connected via a cable modem, with a non routed IP address. Thanks for all the help so far, and help is appreciated.
Standard port forwarding. Enter the port as 5900 and the internal IP address of your server in the IP address field.
Hi. Thanks for the ''A". Glad I could help :-)
From work you will need to connect to the external IP address of the Linksys. If this keeps changing then I suggest subscribing to a free dyndns.org dynamic DNS service (http://www.dyndns.org)and installing one of the many clients on the server. Some Linksys routers also include a client themselves but these can be a bit unreliable.
