How/If is it possible to setup the dlink router DL-704 to accept a address of 192.168.168.X. What I would like to do is setup VNC on my computer at home, and access it through the router from any place that has an internet connection. I have 4 machines hooked up to the router. I have emailed Tech support for this but have had no reply.

in any router you need to configure the tcp/ip ports that the program you are using needs to use and "forward" them to the internal ip address.

You address of 192.168.168.x is an internal address.

To use VNC you need to know your external IP address.

In most dlink routers I have seen there is a status page that tells you what the external IP address is.

You will need to set a fixed IP address in the range of 192.168.168.x for your computer.

Then on the page that does the forwarding set the VNC program ports to be forwarded to that address.

I am awarding these points, due to it gave me the right direction to look in, But was not correct. In the DL-704 you can set up the VNc ports under the Virtual Server on ports 5000 and 500 directed to the PC Ip Address you want to use, took me awahile to track down the correct procedure. Got pc anywhere working also . PC Support from D-Link ws a joke on the matter, Here is their answer
IPSEC Support:

The current firmware version supports Windows IPSEC implementation in the following configuration:

Use only DES encryption in ESP mode with no encapsulation, no Integrity, in Tunnel mode and using a pre-shared key.

WHAT??? Keep it simple , Just say open up virtual server and put in the ports. Dont give answers like this. Laughable

So if I understand that the router address is 192.168.168.1, I would forward that to pc address of 192.168.168.63? Through which Port??

Thanks
