RealVNC through 2003 Small Business server to workstation

by computerguy . Updated 19 years, 8 months ago

Good day all!

I need to get VNC forwarded thru a Windows 2003 SBS server to a workstation….

Setup:

Internet > Router > Server > Workstation 1, 2 & 3

I need to access workstation 1 remotely via VNC. I’ve got remote access to the server with Remote Desktop, but for some reason I can’t get the port 5900 for vnc forwarded through the server to the workstation… I must have something configured incorrectly….

Workstation 1 has a static IP address, reserved at the server… wkstn 2 & 3 are given an address by the Server (DHCP). the server is a domain server… there’s 2 NIC’s on the server one incoming from the internet, the other controls the internal network.

If I put vnc on the server.. and try to access the server via vnc it works. How do I forward that connection from outside the network through the server to the workstation?

Oh yeah, I can ping the workstation from the server…the workstation accesses all server programs and internet correctly. However, if I open vnc viewer from the server and try to connect to the local IP (workstation), it will not connect.

And of course I’ve got someone breathing down my neck to get this working….

Thanks in advance!
