Re: FN-FORUM Access via router - Thanks for responses

Yes, that's right.

You'll need to suss out which ports it's using and map those
accordingly in your router, then when you connect you just add the
increment into the address. I have a client with VNC running on two
servers, one on the default port, one on the 'next' one, and connect
with:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to one
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1 to the other

Cheers,
