How-to setup 3CPU's (6clients) over 2networks?

Currently using 3 cpu's (6clients total) over a LAN @ home, connecting via OgreMCP "Connect".

Goal:
Need to use 1 cpu (laptop:1client) located in a different city, to control the 2 cpu's (5client's) @ home.

So far I have,:
-setup my 2PCs @ home static IP's,
-setup port forwarding on my router (CPU-HOMEA = 10101 & CPU-HOMEB = 10102(changed ISX Uplink to match 10102),
-?

I am not much of a network guy, so Im stuck @ this point.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Stuckfully yours,
BBally

what isn't working? you didnt list putting the ip(s) in eq2chars.inc, so maybe thats a step you forgot.

was

function SetUpUplink()
{
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[LAPTOP-HP]
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[HOMEA-PC]
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[HOMEB-PC]

now <fake ip's>
function SetUpUplink()
{
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[LAPTOP-HP]
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[72.62.172.22:10101]
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[72.62.172.22:10102]

Still stuck, ^^does this look right?

im not sure if the ip:port syntax is correct, try space instead of colon. also since 10101 is default you prob dont need to define that one.

Code:
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[72.62.172.22]
UplinkInfo[${UplinkCount:Inc}]:Set[72.62.172.22 10102]

I've never needed to do anything with ports, so I've always used the default (10101).

You may have better luck not using the connect button via MCP, but instead using the uplink directly, that way you remove the possibility of me not coding correctly for the port (be a space, for example).

So you have more than one computer listed in your eq2chars.inc, and they all are listed with IPs, and no ports (all default 10101)?
