If I have two Windows users, one needing to use VNC to view the desktop of another through various firewalls etc, what can I set up on a publically accessible (Linux) box to allow them to connect?
Assume very little technical knowledge at each Windows end so I need to do something as simple as possible for them.
The outbound connection from the vncserver end (the desktop that needs to be "seen" by the other end) will probably need to use some common port like 80 to get through the firewall, which will be fun as all my Internet servers have web servers on them, but I'll fall off that bridge when I come to it. The viewer end is marginally more technically capable (ie they'll follow instructions more carefully) than the server end.
