I have a W2k Server machine set up as a router between my cable modem and my small house subnet. The server has a routable IP on the "outside" link, and all of the computers on the "inside" subnet have 192.168.0.xxx addresses.

I would like to use VNC (or some other remote control software) to reach through the server and control one of the inside computers from a remote location.

I have found documentation indicating that this requires me to set up port forwarding on the router.

My question is: How/Where do I do this on W2K Server? I found the "Routing and Remote Access" page, but it does not appear to allow me to set up ports to be forwarded.

Thanks. I appreciate any help.

Well, first of al what you have there should not be a router (routing from a network to another). Should be a NAT.
Install properly NAT, then going to "public interface" /Properties/ Special ports, you can add:
Incoming PORT
Private Address
Outgoing PORT

For VNC ports, have a look on their site:
