Screen share HELP!

[Talgon]

I have a router that I can not, for some odd reason, disable the firewall. This prevents me from allowing my friends from taking control of my pc and being able to show me how to do stuff remotely. Can I do some sort of port forward to get this working? I have done port forwarding for Alliance so I can share files with my friends. I need to know, if I can do a port forward, where I can find which port I need to forward and what IP to use in the port forward. I have a NETGEAR Router. i'm not sure what model though.

http://192.168.1.1 should get you to the Router's admin interface.

Bottom left of the sidebar is a Documentation link.

So it looks like I'm going to need to know what port I need to forward to my local IP so the screen sharing can work. But I don't know how to find which port (or range of ports) I need to forward. How can I find this out?

that would depend on the program your going to use........skype dose this and you dont nead to ford anything.....at least I dident .........but UPnP is turnd on in my router

you truly dont whant to disabel your routers fire wall all together ........but if you must it may be called DMZ and if you place you box in it you will be completly open to the net .........bad move.

I want to use Remote Desktop. The one that come with Mint. I have a NETGEAR WGR614v8 router. If there's any other info you need, don't hesitate to ask.

to acsess your router's setings

# Access the router (http://192.168.1.1 or the Default Gateway address if the router's default IP was changed).
# Log in the router (User Name = admin and Password = password, unless you changed it).

if you think the Default Gateway address has ben changed do

Code: Select all

route

vinny@desktop:~$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth1
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth1
default 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1

the default line is the one you want.......in this case 192.168.2.1

then we nead to find out what port to forward for Remote Desktop............krdc lets you specify what port to use wile seting the conection.............. I will half to check the one in mint..........or some one that knows may anser first.

In my router settings I've allowed remote management and the port it says it's using is 8080. To use "Remote Management" would I have to just type in the remote management address into a browser? it's looks like this: http://00.000.0.000:8080 Now obviously I've taken out the numbers so that no one can control any of my pc's but, what do you think?
