Question : ISP Blocking Access to Services

My ISP recently set up port forwarding to allow me access
my Desktop remotely using RealVNC


He added a Port to my IP Address and emphasised the importance of
using port 5900 in RealVnc

I can now get through to my Desktop remotely by specifying my IP Address and this port no
in the RealVnc Window

eg Server nn.nnn.nnn.nnn:pppp

Is there any way I can use above to enable remote connect to MySql Databases on my Desktop
and also to use Microsofts Remote Desktop.

My ISP says he ca do no more ????????

Thanks

H


 

Answer : ISP Blocking Access to Services

I suggest that you add port mapping for vpn to the server.  Then you can get anything you want after you bring up that vpn.

Cheers.
