A quick note. There is a reverse VNC option with VNC that uses port 5500 (I believe). Been a while since I used it. It is a kind of reverse VNC. In which the client makes the connection to your host. So, it doesn't require the port mapping. Don't have it running much, but did with my mom many years ago. Made connection from her machine in Nevada, to my machine and Guam, and then I did the port mapping info to automate the process. So, might be something to look at. Thanks for the reply, and good luck on finding the best solution.
