Remote Desktop to multple Macs on a remote network
Hi,
I'm trying to use Apple Remote Desktop to connect to multiple Mac's on a remote network.
I've set the remote network's firewall/router to open up the ARD-specific ports for all the computers I want to connect to. I've also set each computer to accept Remote Management.
On my ARD however, when I enter the network address of the remote network I'm trying to get to, I can only see ONE of the enabled computers, rather than all.
Any suggestions on how I can get to ALL of the computers on the remote network? Thanks!

1) Setup multiple routes on your NAT device with one using the regular ports and the others at some other ports (externally) that then point at the correct port on the computer. Then when you connect to each one you point it at the port dedicated to that computer and you can get to each.
2) Setup ARD on one of the computers and then set that computer to be the one you can ARD into. Then you ARD into that one computer and use it to use ARD to control the others. It is a bit odd in concept, but works well.
I do remember that this was a feature that Apple was taking serious note of, so I would expect it in a future product.
