I use remote desktop to work on some machines for a couple of very small businesses. They are mostly using wireless routers with a couple of laptops and maybe a desktop machine. There are also printers and network driver hooked up to the routers (or a switch).
I have DHCP turned off on the routers because I have found that sometimes the IP address leasing gets screwed up and a machine won't connect because it's IP has been "stolen". So, I have the machines on assigned IPs.
Since they are behind a NAT router/firewall, I have to do port forwarding or port routing to a specific IP address in order to remote into it.
Is there a way that I can just do this as part of my remote session. In other words, if I know both the public and private address, can I do something like 64.215.17.24 192.169.1.254 to get a specific machine? Basically I am looking to not have to set up the port routing for every new machine.
