    <p>A VPN (virtual private network) configuration could resolve this.</p> <p>Laptop TCP connection to VPN host via tether connection. VPN assigns an IP address to the virtual network adapter (provided by the VPN client) in the laptop . Any machine on the VPN (or bridged to the VPN network) can access any other machine on the VPN. There will be no port blocking because the network connection is carried through a tunnel.</p> <p>Configuration of the VPN will be somewhat intensive. An minimal configuration would be to hardcode the VPN IP addresses at the host and all clients. Then clients would be able to reach each other by IP. This would allow VNC to work properly and in theory other connections such as FTP or Windows networking (although slowly depending on link speed).</p> <p>I believe there is a Microsoft solution for VPN. If I recall correctly the VPN client is built-in to Windows XP. I never used their solution, I assume server-side is built-in to Windows 2003 and later.</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network</a></p> <p><a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/network/bb545442.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/network/bb545442.aspx</a></p> <p>edit: The VPN server itself would need to be on a static IP (maybe dynamic DNS service if dynamic IP) and reachable from the Internet either directly or via port forwarding. I don't know if there are service offerings providing VPN. Depending on needs and budget the solutions are widely varied.</p>
