Re: something blocking IP access
Carla, What pings are you talking about? From the WAN to your PC? or from the PC to the WAN? If people on the WAN are trying to ping you , what IP address are they using - since in all probability you have an IP address that is allocated to you by your ISP - and (even with DSL) this changes quite often. What are you trying to do? Use VNC from office to home? If yes, then look at these people - they provide an excellent way to get at systems that connect to the net via allocated (hence dynamic) IP addresses: http://www.no-ip.com - works for me!

Re: VNC to Host Behind NAT
Make sure no firewall is running on either machine and test it again. If you can do a reverse connection, it seems that the host machine is blocking the incoming connection. VNC is not likely to be the issue. My experience is it is most always something else. Do you connect properly with NAT disabled or is VNC still not working at that time?

RE: Embed into IE
The RealVNC server has a java viewer built right into it and runs on port 5800. If you are using it on *nix on different ports, it's port 580X where X is the display number. The java server is turned on and off with a registry key HTTPConnect being set to a dword of 1. More information on this is in the VNC documentation. One of the many features of VNCScan is that it will export your list of detected computers to a web page that makes use of this java server on each computer.

RE: Embed into IE
RealVNC comes with an embedded http server that gives you a java viewer. I believe when it is enabled it listens on port 5800 So using IE you can connect to a server by typing in http://youhost.ip.here:5800 It works well.

The combination of client inputs is already working natively - you can use VNC in kollaborative mode, where all clients are allowed to give input - quite messy sometimes :-) Also, you can configure it the way that only one (or a subset of) client(s) has control - the other would connect read-only then. Our exact problem is that you specify that behaviour on startup - we would like to move the input fokus around on runtime... > I ask because I am a graduate student doing research in this area.
