Remote adminstration
by cmoman 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

Hello all, Is there a tool in ubuntu that a user can start that reports the real world ip address and configures a home router to open a port to allow remote administration? I have a friend or two for whom it would nice to get them to start a program, report to me the details via MSN or Skype or telephone etc and allow me to log in and fix or make a configuration change to their machine. I know how to set things up using ssh etc but that relies on some initial configuration at the their end. KDE has a nice VNC invite function but it won't do the router config part. It appears the likes of KTorrent and Azuereus have the ability to do some to the router via UPnP to open ports up on the router dynamically so I am guessing all this is possible. Cheers

Hi John, I would be a starter for that Free Geek thing. As you well know I am not a Geek but am trying hard to become a "g." I can mess around with things under someones guidance and come up with positive results most times ( I own a hammer for those other times <g> ) any how. For what it is worth, my hand is up. All the best John........
