 Port Forwarding I want to login to my Mac, through my router, from my PC at work (win NT). I've set up the router to forward port 139. To pull this off, will I need VNC (and how do I configure it) or any changes to System Preferences Sharing settings?

| What do you mean by "login to my Mac". Are you talking about using ssh? Or, accessing file shares? Brian

| For free - OSXvnc server installed on your Mac at home, and a PC client at work. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/13327

| Get the VNC server as bobw mentioned, turn off the port 139 forwarding, ASAP. Thats used by Microsoft networking, and could be a security issue if you have Samba running and have open access. If you are using a default install of VNC server, you want to forward ports 5800 and 5900 to the OS X box. Brian

| Okay, I turn off port forwarding in the router, then set up the vnc server to forward 5800 and 5900 and then I'll be able to get to my mac, through the router, from the NT at work by putting my wan ip in the address bar of a browser. Do I have everything?
