 |
Hi all-
Not sure if anyone knows this, or has tried this. I have a Linksys WRT54G router as my main router, and used dd-wrt to configure a Motorola WR850Gv3 to be an ethernet bridge, as I have a desktop far away which has issues with it's wireless adapter. After some work/experimentation, I got the ethernet bridge to work! However, now, I'm trying to set up a vnc to that desktop via the ethernet bridge. I haven't found any good resources which would say how to do this. I configured my Linksys to NOT block anonymous internet requests, configured port forwarding for 5900, but I can't use tightvnc to connect to the remote computer. I set up a tightvnc server to run on it, and used whatismyipaddress.com to find the ip. However, I'm not sure if maybe this ip is the ip of my main router? The port forwarding is going to the 192.168.1.104 extension that the tightvnc server on the computer says it's using. Do I need to configure my motorola bridge to also allow port forwarding? If so, what address should it use?
