Joe, remote support, if setup properly, is done through a VPN tunnel,
not through open ports and using remote control software. Ask them to
give you VPN access so that you can support the network.

Taking a moment's reflection, Joe Donaldson mused:

VNC used TCP/UDP port 5900 by default for a server.

client:0 -> port 5900 (for VNC viewer)
client:1 -> port 5901 (for VNC viewer)
.......
and
client:0 -> port 5800 (for java web interface)
client:1 -> port 5801 (for java web interface)
......

Can someone put this in more simpler terms for me being a newbie when
it comes to firewalls and routers and such? What exactly needs to be
done and then what I address would I use for a business that has a
NAT?
Sorry I could not follow the previous posts. Just something new for
me. I appreciate it.

Thanks Joe

Joe Bottom posting is best when on Usenet

The information that was provided is all that you need to know. Since
you didn't post what firewall or NAT device is being used we can't
provide more specific details on how to configure it.

From tone of your posts, it would be be best if you got a network
"techie" to make the changes for you.

Keep in mind that exposing the company network to outside access by
these remote control programs ALSO lets others see the connections and
try to access them. You are better off doing a VPN network connection if
you are going to be providing remote support.
