Firewall/NAT

I have a m0n0wall (pc 1.23) and a Network behind.
Now i want to connect with real VNC to my server behind the wall. But i cant find a way at this time.

I allready tryed to make a rule to redirect the 5900 port to the internal IP of the server but it doesnot work!!!

Thanks for you help.

No body knows? Too bad

I also tryed to make a inbound NAT inkluding the autorule. But its not working?

First off I would set up a syslogger on a machine somewhere and see if you are getting any deny's from the firewall.

Ensure the machine behind the firewall as the Mono setup as its gateway. Won't work otherwise.

Also are you VNC'ing a Windows or linux machine. Linus tends to sit on 5901 (Display :1)

Also test the ping.

The connection request needs to get to AND from the VNC box. Try blocking the firewall and ensure you are getting deny's. If you are getting that far then you are half way there.

Run a netstat command on the VNC box to see if the connection is getting to the remote box.

odd. works fine for me :


on the Firewall: NAT: Inbound screen

If Proto Ext. port range NAT IP Int. port range Description 
WAN  TCP  5900  HPSFF  5900  VNC router   

on the Firewall: Rules screen

Proto Source Port Destination Port Description 
  TCP  *  *  HPSFF  5900  NAT VNC HPSFF   

where HPSFF is the IP address of the machine running VNC.
