Hi there. My setup is as follows. First I have my host system connecting just fine to a single remote both on cable but no router connected on the remote side.
My problem is when we put the remote systems on the other side of a Linksys router.
I know how to configure the router to pass 5631 and 5632 but how do we configure it if there are 2 remotes that I want to have the option to get too? For example... do I my setup my side with the the hosts external IP then setup 2 separate forwards on the other ends router with the same ports but to both internal IP addresses (I tried this and it doesn't seem to work)? Help!

You will need to set up unique ports
You will need to set up port forwarding for a second set of ports to be used by system #2.
In the host you can find the setting under the
Increase the ports by two from 5631 and 5632 to 5633 and 5634 then on your router forward these ports to the second computer.
On your remote configure it to use the new ports by going to
Change these to match the modified ports on machine 2 5633 and 5634.
This can be done to any 2 ports that are not being used.
hope that helps.
Cheers.
