Title: Since port forwarding to several workstations won't work... What should I do?
Post by: Old Lodge Skins on November 08, 2007, 06:18:24 PM

Hi all,

According to my searches here, it seems you can forward ports only to one IP at a time...
My problem is that I'm trying to run VLC on two workstations. I'm using it to load a distant playlist on an RTSP server. Which means I need to have a couple of ports forwarded to the boxes that run VLC... But currently I can male this work only on one of them.

So the question it... Would there be a way to have VLC work on several workstations behind an SME 7.2 server? If yes, how?

Thanks.

Seb.

Is it not possible to forwards say port 5001 to 192.168.0.10:80 (I don't know what VLC uses), and 5002 to 192.168.0.11:80 - for example? Did you try this?

... Call me stupid...
Use different ports on the two installations of VLC.
You're a genius lol!

Thanks.

Just my small contrib: use port number like 5xxx where xxx is the last octet of IP workstation.
So 192.168.13.105 should use 5105, 192.168.13.005 uses 5005 and so on!

That´s easiest way to remember what port to use!

I use this schema to VNC (port 5900), so the starting 5. For Win RDP (port 3389), maybe a 33xxx or 3xxx schema.
