how do i access my network behind a router

[charlescpc]

I have a 3 computer at home. It's behind a netgear router.

The network is setup this way.

I have my dsl modem connected to my router and my computers connected to my router. I think that's a pretty standand setup.

I would like to acces my network from other places. I know my dsl modem address. How do i access my computers behind the router.

I will be using pcanywhere 11.0.

For example say my modem is 65.43.20.10 and the first computer behing my router is 192.168.0.2. Do I need to forward a port in the router for each computer? Is the format something like 65.43.20.10:1000

If 1000 would be the port I would forward for a pc?

You are very close. You will need to forward the port you want to connect to . Now here are some considerations:

1) If you only want to connect to one PC on your home network you will be fine. Since the port forwarding is a static mapping of a port to a specific ip address if you forward port 1000 to internal ip 192.168.0.2 you will not be able to connect to 192.168.0.3 using that same port. You will need to create a seperate mapping.

2) You can jump from one PC to another on your network, but lag can be very hindering. For example, you could connect to 192.168.0.2, and then connect from that PC to 192.168.0.3.

3) PC Anywhere does not use port 1000 by default for version 11 it uses port 5631 tcp and 5632 udp.

Thanks....
I assuming format 65.32.40.2:1000 is correct ?

the ip above are just made up ones but you get the idea.

The ip is separated by a colon where the port is.....

You can specify ports in pcAnywahere also therefore on each pc you could specify a different TCP & UDP port for each pc and forward these on the router to allow access to all three pc's.

Thanks........
I am still wondering if this format is correct 65.73.20.5:5631

modem is 65.73.20.5
router is 192.168.0.1
pcanywhere is forwarded in router to
starting 5631 ending 5632

my setup is dsl => modem
modem => router
router => 3 different pcs

Thanks

Just a note but unless you have a very special dsl your ip will change regularily
