Hi Freddy, OSXvnc is based on our old VNC 3 system and appears to, like the VNC 4 system, have been developed to remain compatible with VNC 3.

James, That is true. I did not think of that. I am not a mac person, but I thought they use some sort of X server as a foundation for UI. I guess not.

RE: setting server rfb port to non-default - on the vncviewer
John, vncviewer -geometry 1440x1062 -passwd z ipaddr::4918:19 /dev/null and that worked. I think the ':19' after the port is immaterial. Try connecting to ipaddr::4918:abcd or even ipaddr::4918abcd; it works. It makes sense because you cannot have more than 1 display listening on a single port (the second Xvnc will complain that it cannot bind to the given port) unless using inetd. -siva. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Lumby Sent: Friday, October 20, 2006 4:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; vnc-list@realvnc.com Subject: RE: setting server rfb port to non-default - on the vncviewer James Weatherall wrote John, No, you don't - the syntax you are specifying to your VNC Viewer (host::port:display) is not valid.

If you explicitly specify the port then it doesn't need that. Have you tried starting the viewer with just: vncviewer -geometry 1440x1062 -passwd z ipaddr::4918 Anything beyond the port number is (presumably) ignored by the vncviewer application (whether that's by design or purely coincidental I don't know).

RE: setting server rfb port to non-default - on the vncviewer
John, I'm afraid that you are mistaken. In the example you give, either ipaddr::4918 Or ipaddr:4918 Are valid, and will work. ipaddr::4918:19 is not a valid server specification but happens to work because of the way VNC Viewer interprets the port/display number specification.
