Help please
Hi, I am attempting to remote the native X display, I have read the docs but can't get it work. I have added the vnc.so as required. Do I have to change the way that X starts or should it automatically start a vncserver? What display should I use from a remote viewer should it be :0 ?

RE: local host vs local address
John at al, The notion of VNC binding to a particular _interface_ is bogus. When accepting incoming connections, services bind to a particular host _IP address_. Like most other services, VNC binds to INADDR_NONE, which means it accepts connections via all the host's addresses. If your TCP/IP stack is working correctly then this will allow the server to accept connections on any valid IP address for the host, regardless of when they were added to it. The _only_ situation in which VNC Server binds to a specific address is when accepting connections only from localhost.

I have WinVNC4 running as a service on a XP Home machine. It is behind a Linksys wireless router, so the appropriate ports are forwarded to the machine's IP. My issue has been that intermittently, WinVNC binds to 127.0.0.1, then other times binds appropriately to 192.168.1.150. I have successfully accessed the machine to perform maintenance, etc., previously, but today WinVNC bound to the localhost address, leaving me unable to access it. To reiterate, the installation works intermittently, but it has worked. - not set to loopback only - wireless LAN connection working normally - the machine has been running all day, and I get a connection refused, so it's not the IP display update issue Any other ideas on what would make WinVNC bind to the localhost? Thanks! Chris Goodwin Max, VNC Server binds to network interfaces in one of two ways. Either: - It binds to all network interfaces (INADDR_ANY), or - It binds only to the local loopback interface (127.0.0.1) If your tray icon says that it has bound to 127.0.0.1 then one of three things has happened: - Your machine only has local loopback no network interface is available - You have explicitly configured VNC Server to only listen for local loopback connections - VNC Server is actually listening on INADDR_ANY, but the tray icon contents are out of date and reflect a point in time before the network interfaces had come up. This tray icon behaviour is a known bug. It could cause a Service-Mode server to show Not accepting connections or 127.0.0.1 in some cases. I assume that you've tried connecting to the server in spite of the tray icon's contents and established that it's not accepting connections? Cheers, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. In the tray, on the server icon, I can read the IP that is being used. so when run as a service it says 127.0.0.1 and my PC cannot be reached remotly. and when I launch server manually it reads 192.168.0.100 and RealVNC works fine. I like to use it as a service, as I never know in advance when I need to reach my machine ... -Message d'origine- De : James Weatherall [mailto:jnw at realvnc.com] Envoyi : lundi 13 septembre 2004 12:59 @ : 'Big Max Leo'; vnc-list at realvnc.com Objet : RE: local host vs local address, Max,

What does it mean If I can ping my computer at home from here on the network, but I can't ping this network computer from my home? Something is blocking me and it's driving me nuts! I have spoke to our IT department, who says there shouldn't be a problem. Suposedly, there are other employees who use VNC with their home computers. Help!!!???

RE: local host vs local address
My statement referred mainly to starting up a Windows platform with no network connected i.e. a dial up situation. VNC SERVER is installed as a service on startup and thus will not work until you STOP/START the service once connecting to the network.

When accepting incoming connections, services bind to a particular host _IP address_. Like most other services, VNC binds to INADDR_NONE, which means it accepts connections via all the host's addresses. If your TCP/IP stack is working correctly then this will allow the server to accept connections on any valid IP address for the host, regardless of when they were added to it. The _only_ situation in which VNC Server binds to a specific address is when accepting connections only from localhost.

The binding occurs before you are connected thus you only have your Network Interface Card default IP. Once connected I usually have to Stop Start the VNC service to rebind.

One note: If I do not register VNC Server as a service during install, but trigger the manual mode from a shortcut in the Startup folder, it binds to the correct IP every time. I can only assume that some other program prevents it from doing so at boot. I appreciate any input - thanks for your response, Stuart!

Stu -Original Message- From: Chris Goodwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2004 1:01 PM To: VNC List Subject: local host vs local address I have the same issue as the gentleman below. I have WinVNC4 running as a service on a XP Home machine. It is behind a Linksys wireless router, so the appropriate ports are forwarded to the machine's IP. My issue has been that intermittently, WinVNC binds to 127.0.0.1, then other times binds appropriately to 192.168.1.150. I have successfully accessed the machine to perform maintenance, etc., previously, but today WinVNC bound to the localhost address, leaving me unable to access it. To reiterate, the installation works intermittently, but it has worked. - not set to loopback only - wireless LAN connection working normally - the machine has been running all day, and I get a connection refused, so it's not the IP display update issue Any other ideas on what would make WinVNC bind to the localhost? Thanks! Chris Goodwin Max, VNC Server binds to network interfaces in one of two ways. Either: - It binds to all network interfaces (INADDR_ANY), or - It binds only to the local loopback interface (127.0.0.1) If your tray icon says that it has bound to 127.0.0.1 then one of three things has happened: - Your machine only has local loopback no network interface is available - You have explicitly configured VNC Server to only listen for local loopback connections - VNC Server is actually listening on INADDR_ANY, but the tray icon contents are out of date and reflect a point in time before the network interfaces had come up. This tray icon behaviour is a known bug. It could cause a Service-Mode server to show Not accepting connections or 127.0.0.1 in some cases. I assume that you've tried connecting to the server in spite of the tray icon's contents and established that it's not accepting connections?
