I am trying to help a client with a few issues in their office network. They have about 15 Macs. Each has its own public IP address. I will be getting rid of most of those public IP's (saving them money), and they will only have a few public IP's. One, or two will be for web servers they have.
Here's the issue. I tried doing a remote desktop, of a remote desktop from inside the network. But it just kept looping screens on one of the Macs, and it crashed the computer. Is this not possible in Mac OS10?
I've done it numerous times with Microsoft Windows. It's useful in many occasions. For example, there is only one PC setup at my job to receive outside remote connections. But once I'm remotely connected to the one PC setup for this, I can simply open another remote desktop, and access whichever other computer I feel like accessing. Once I'm connected to one computer, I can obviously connect to the rest. =)
If I were to setup a smart switch, and utilize port forwarding. Would it be possible to connect to any 15 Macs, by using the same outside IP address, but different port numbers? For example ...
Employee 1 wants to connect to his computer using (I made up an IP for this) 67.8.3.10:10 ... would I be able to forward this to the default listening port for Macs remote desktop to Employee 1's internal IP address, and do this with the rest of the computers in their office network? So employee 2 would be able to use lets say 67.8.3.10:11 to connect to theirs. Has anyone done it this way?
Thanks!
