How do I forward to the Macmini?
I'm using Chicken of the VNC as a client, I've entered the Macmini's  
IP in the Host field and 5900 in the Display/Port field. On the  
router (Asante) in the Distributed Servers Setup I've entered 5900 in  
the Service Port field, in the Server IP field I've entered the  
Macmini's IP and checked the Enable box. Still doesn't work.

Any help is much appreciated.

TIA
