Westell WireSpeed Remote Access

[jallenlsi]

I'm setting up a Westell Wirespeed Dual Connect DSL modem to my father-in-laws PC. Everything's up and running fine. However, I'd like to be able to access his PC remotely using VNC, Windows Remote Desktop Connection or PCAnywhere so that I may work on it from my home or from my desk at work. The modem receives its address via DHCP, so I know that will be a variable address. I can work around that. The modem acts as a DHCP server to the pc, delivering an address of 192.168.1.1, with the modem showing it's internal address as 192.168.1.254. I can ping the external address of the modem with no problem. How can I route back through the modem. From an external source, how can I get to the PC residing on a non-routable network?

Can you set up port forwarding on that modem/router?

Unless your father-in-law's PC is in the DMZ, you will need to forward whichever port you use for your remote connection.

from what I gather
you will be able to vnc from remote outsid of the home wan
your isp has given you a ip address that both pc's share
you may not be able to remote in house conflicting same ip address
is this modem router configurable
does it have a address like 192.168.1.1
usually dsl isp address's don't change that much.
when I had dsl it stayed with same addy for 1 year
xp pro remoting will allow open port numbers
so like your ip is 23.145.1.23 use 23.145.1.23:8080
read the books
may want to look up a server setup/client software
