Losing connection using free 4.1.3 version Between Two Win XP-Pro Computers.
I am having trouble losing connection using the free 4.1.3 version between two Win XP-Pro Computers. Lately, every several minutes it seems a peer reset message is popping up. (Connection reset by peer -- 10054) Could it be a firewall, av, or router issue? If someone could suggest some things to look for and who may have had the same problem it would be appreciated.

RE: Windows 7 laptop will not accept connection
Note that the free version of RealVNC server doesn't work with Vista or W7 - you'd need the "Personal" edition, which isn't free. UVNC is a free alternative, if you can pick your way through the misleading "download" adverts and find the right link. Otherwise, check the Connection tab allows connections from the right subnet (allowing 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 is a safe bet) and check your firewall allows the port through. If you have some baroque "Security Suite" you'll need to fathom out the procedure for opening ports.

The VNC server on the Citrix-connected remote desktop could very well be modified to snoop on the Citrix RDP data stream, but since that data could at best only show what your friend sees in the Citrix RDP client (i.e., the remote desktop), it wouldn't buy them anything. The Citrix RDP client is proprietary, and I think it unlikely that her employer would be willing to pay for a modified version that could snoop her desktop (or even that Citrix would be willing to do so). Besides the probable high price of any such modification, it's even more unlikely that Citrix would be willing to keep upgrading the customized version along with the standard one. I have been in that situation before; the vendor modified their OS for us, but refused to keep it current, which meant that the machine on which it ran soon became a dinosaur. We were willing to accept that because of our special circumstances, but very few software customers would be willing to pay that price. HTH! Thx, Phil Long Goss ...

vnc server running in a citrix connection
I have a friend of mine that works for a work from home company and she has a concern. I believe I know the answer but she is concerned enough that I figured I would ask you all. She connects to a remote server from her laptop using a vpn and citrix. On the remote server her company has vnc server so that they can monitor her work. The question is, with the vnc server on the remote server running can they see her laptops desktop or will they just see the remote servers desktop. I believe that they will only see the remote servers desktop since that is where the server is located but she is concerned that even though it is on the remote server, that they are able to see her laptops desktop as well.

The server has been running on solaris-unix for last 2 months. i am using the vncviewer from my windows box working fine for last 4 years. Suddenly from yesterday, i was not able to connect to the server and getting the following message. read: connection reset by peer. (or too many security failures) I cannot connect to the same server using tightvnc from linux ubuntu box which have. But my windows box is displaying the above error message. 1. i tried restarting the vncserver on the solaris box, but it did not help. 2. I installed older and latest version of vncviewer and it didnot help. 3. i tried Tightvnc viewer on my windows box, and it is erroring out witht he below message (ReadExact: SocketIPV4 error while reading) any other idea please, why this could have gone wrong suddenly ?

Disabled Fast user Switching on the server On the server, added a rule to Windows Defender to exclude the C: \program\vnc folder (should not care, should it?)

RE: VNC in listening mode, connection fails with "read: Connection reset by peer (10054)
That all sounds ok to me, except that I've never had occasion to test the connection via a dynamic DNS name from/to a client within the same subnet - obviously you'd never need to do this apart from testing. Two possibilities suggest themselves (but don't assume I haven't missed anything!): firstly that the Belkin simply can't handle the incongruity of the combination of NAT (where the router has to keep track of which LAN client issued, say, a particular web request so that it can route the pages accordingly) and port-forwarding, which caters for an externally originated connection. The other possibility is that the dynamic DNS isn't working, and you're pinging some innocent bystander, which is dutifully responding (been there, t-shirt, etc). DynDNS have a (short) list of certified hardware and say that many devices don't work acceptably well. They have a software client which is free to download and easy to configure. However, you can ensure that the DNS setting is correct by logging on to DynDNS from any machine on your LAN and updating the address (ideally after disabling the router facility just in case). Presumably you want to make this connection from a server outside your own LAN. Can you (after lowering the security settings) access the router's configuration pages from outside? Have you tried getting an external server to connect? Incidentally, in the scenario you describe you need forward only port 5500 to the host of the listening client; you would only need to port-forward 5800 or 5900 if you are trying to reach a server (rather than client) from outside the LAN.

If on that same machine I instead select "Add Client" but use the dyndns.org hostname, a pop-up immediately appears on the listening machine saying "read: Connection reset by peer (10054)". If I click OK in the pop-up, the same message appears two more times, at which point the VNC server machine reports "Connection failed". Any idea why this is failing? It doesn't seem to be a port-forward problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you please provide more detailed information. Thanks. The 'fix' was the disable the 'user has connected' dialog box which apparently now appears by default when a new client connection is established to a machine running the VNC server. The OP wanted to disable this, and by going into the advanced VNC server options on the host machine and modifying a variable (the timeout delay for the notification dialog) this effectively disables the dialog from ever showing as it times out immediately. See previous replies for (simple) steps required to achieve this, and more info.

RE: Command-line connection to listening client from Vista machine? [now SCRIPTS]
EDIT is pretty old stuff. I just use notepad, or maybe an advanced programmer's editor like ConText or Crimson Editor (which can highlight keywords, both free). Sometimes I use Vi on Windows for the "Regular Expression" support! Just create the text anyhow and save with either .cmd (preferred) or .bat extension (see here <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch_file> for differences) - then run it. The VB family (VB, VBA, VBS) are different. They need a "runtime" to provide library functions. In Excel VBA, the runtime is built into Excel (VBA scripts don't run in isolation). In full-blown VB, you have to provide a runtime as part of the installation package. With VBS, you can use Cscript.exe or Wscript.exe to provide the necessary environment within the NT command-line environment. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/232211 for more, or see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/scriptcenter/default.aspx for tons of stuff. Do understand that vanilla NT scripting is considered really old hat these days. After my signature I'll paste in a recent (crude) example NT script. Copy into Notepad and save as PingMonitor.cmd and run it. All it does is loop, pinging an IP address (set in a variable), in this case the BBC. When it responds, it plays a sound (your path may vary, as may your file association for *.wav files), changes the colour of the text in the window and sets the window's title to "### UP ###". You can leave it running in the background, minimised, and if you glance at the taskbar icon it tells you the connection status of the remote machine - that's if you don't notice Windows Media Player popping up to play the TADA sound! If you need to stop it, use Control-C in the command window. If you have VNC running on remote machines which get their addresses from DHCP, then you have two options. Run a listening client at your end, and manage your own incoming port forwarding for port 5500. Then the client simply has to right-click their VNC server icon and enter your IP or domain address, and it'll connect. To speed this up, you can leave a command script on their desktop (etc) which runs: WinVNC4.exe -connect YOURADDRESS I've wrapped mine up in all sorts of VBS which pops up an information panel and checks for a running server - this now needs work to cope with Vista. If you're trying to initiate a connection from a Vista box running VNC as a service you need to add "-service" in the line above. Here the user is connecting to you, of course. The other option is to use Dynamic DNS. I use DynDNS.com. You register for an account, and add a (free) Dynamic DNS hostname. It picks up your current IP address, and links that with a third-level domain name you invent, choosing from a range of second-level domains available. To maintain the connection when the IP address changes, you should download, configure and run the updating client available on the DynDNS site (under support). Works a treat - usually propagates within 5 to 10 minutes after the new address is detected by the update client. Then, if port forwarding is configured (or unnecessary) at the remote end, and firewalls are appropriately set, you can simply give the DynDNS domain name as the remote (server) address in the VNC client. DynDNS have paid-for services which you might need, depending on your requirements. If you're reaching a number of machines through one (reasonably sophisticated) router, you can set up "rules" to accept VNC connections on other ports (add a double-colon and the port number after the address in the client's address box) and have the router configured to route it to the preferred machine, translating the port to 5900, the standard one for VNC. If your router can't do that, then you can configure VNC to respond on a different port, and route that port to the particular machine. Hope that helps.

"Scripting" simply means storing a series of commands in a file and then running the file in one go. It's a close cousin to "programming" - loosely, programs are normally converted into a binary program by a "compiler", while scripts are usually "interpreted" line by line by some other running program.

I tend to use VBS for more complex scripts, as the error-handling in NT scripting is rudimentary. VBS can also interact with Excel and other Office programs in a sophisticated way.

The advantage of this arrangement is that I can deal with firewall problems at my end without having to get them to fiddle with such mysteries at their end - it just works. I think it would also be possible to create a script which would check regularly for a working connection and reconnect if none existed, but that's for another day/month/year. In the past (XP and earlier) I've used a script which pops up an explanatory message box first (giving the option to cancel in case of a finger-fumble), then checks for a running server and then connects to my hard-coded address. I'll be happy to send you (or anyone else interested) a copy of this on request. The essential line is: WinVNC4.exe -connect .. where phils-domain-address is a domain name provided by my ISP, although an IP address will do. If you have a dynamic IP address, you can use DynDNS.com (free) to set up a domain name which will track your changing IP address (assuming you run the update client on at least one running machine). My original question was about Vista. I've found that including the term "-service" in the line above allows the connection to work (in the configurations I've set up), but I need to modify my script to check whether a server is running as a service or in user-mode, or not at all. Nevertheless, if you get the person needing support to check manually if the server is running (task manager or spot the icon) then that one line may be all you need in a simple script.

I've set up port-forwarding at my end to allow port 5500 through to my preferred machine, and all Uncle Joe has to do to get my help is double-click the script's icon on their desktop. The advantage of this arrangement is that I can deal with firewall problems at my end without having to get them to fiddle with such mysteries at their end - it just works. I think it would also be possible to create a script which would check regularly for a working connection and reconnect if none existed, but that's for another day/month/year. In the past (XP and earlier) I've used a script which pops up an explanatory message box first (giving the option to cancel in case of a finger-fumble), then checks for a running server and then connects to my hard-coded address. I'll be happy to send you (or anyone else interested) a copy of this on request. The essential line is: WinVNC4.exe -connect .. where phils-domain-address is a domain name provided by my ISP, although an IP address will do. If you have a dynamic IP address, you can use DynDNS.com (free) to set up a domain name which will track your changing IP address (assuming you run the update client on at least one running machine). My original question was about Vista. I've found that including the term "-service" in the line above allows the connection to work (in the configurations I've set up), but I need to modify my script to check whether a server is running as a service or in user-mode, or not at all. Nevertheless, if you get the person needing support to check manually if the server is running (task manager or spot the icon) then that one line may be all you need in a simple script. Lord knows when I'll get round to doing the modification to my script, but I doubt it'll turn out to be any more difficult than what worked well for XP. I must say that the documentation for Command Line use of RealVNC is rather inadequate (or is it just hard-to-find?). Hope that's useful.

Re: Connection refused (10061)
A few things... I assume that since you built it, the XP firewall was opened for the incoming port (5900 as default)... However, the port could be blocked by: a) Any router/switch the XP host is attached to b) The Hughes 'modem' does not allow incoming IP connections c) Hughes itself is blocking it before the signal is being set to the sky Remember Hughes is very different than DSL/Cable/Fiber connections...

RE: Connection refused (10061)
Ray, The definition of Windows error 10061 is "Connection refused". It indicates that there *is* a computer on the IP address you connected to, but that it isn't running any service (VNC or otherwise) on the specified port. That most commonly means that VNC isn't running, or that the IP address refers to the wrong computer. -- Wez @ RealVNC Ltd > -Original Message- > From: vnc-list-boun...@realvnc.com [mailto:vnc-list- > boun...@realvnc.com] On Behalf Of Ray Davison > Sent: 12 June 2009 17:46 > To: vnc-list@realvnc.com > Subject: Connection refused (10061) > > The host machine is running WXP and free RealVNC 4.1.3.

The host machine is running WXP and free RealVNC 4.1.3. I built it at this location and delivered it to the host location. It is connected to Hughes satellite. I also created a DYNDNS account for the host - https://www.dyndns.com/about/.

RE: Indirect connection works better
Hi Philip, Sorry to hear that. The difference you've highlighted is that the "target" machine is on Wi-Fi, not cable, which can cause issues. You might also check, for instance, what the target computer thinks the MTU of the Wi-Fi network is, and compare that to what it really is - if it's smaller than the server thinks it is then the connection is likely to stall as soon as a significant amount of data gets transferred.

RE: Indirect connection works better
Thanks, Wez, In fact both routes use WiFi for the last leg, but your point about MTU is an interesting one. How do I assess the "real and imaginary" MTUs? (Offline for 24 hours from now, but still interested!)

The difference you've highlighted is that the "target" machine is on Wi-Fi, not cable, which can cause issues. You might also check, for instance, what the target computer thinks the MTU of the Wi-Fi network is, and compare that to what it really is - if it's smaller than the server thinks it is then the connection is likely to stall as soon as a significant amount of data gets transferred.

Thanks, Wez - however, in response to guidance you gave me once before I already have that setting enabled.

RE: Indirect connection works better
Hi Philip, Some Wi-Fi routers have trouble handling large numbers of small network packets, such as are produced when moving the mouse around in the VNC session, and that in turn can upset the Windows TCP stack and lead to the sort of behaviour you're seeing. You can enable the "Pointer event rate-limiting" feature in the VNC Viewer to work around this problem.

Indirect connection works better
Recent came across a situation again which has puzzled me in the past. I'm trying to connect to a machine running VNC Free edition in an office. I can make the connection (having set up port forwarding on the router) but it hangs, with only the top third of the screen visible after several minutes. Further attempts produced the same result. That office has a workstation used as a simple workstation. Unlike the "target" machine, which is wirelessly connected, this one is connected to the router by cable. I can connect reliably to the fileserver PC. I found that within my remote session I could start a new session from the fileserver PC to the target PC, and this worked well. Now that's using the same links, but in two jumps instead of one. What's going on?

RE: Waiting for server to send version string... failed: (111, 'Connection refused')
Dean, "Connection Refused" means that the test page received a response from your computer indicating that no program was accepting connections on the RFB port (5900). This can mean that it's actually connecting to the wrong computer, or that the VNC Server is not in fact running on the target computer. The latest VNC Enterprise and Personal Edition servers have a handy Status dialog giving details of the state the VNC Server thinks it is in. If you're using VNC Free Edition then you might check that the system is listening on port 5900 using "netstat -an".

RE: XP 'Blank' Screensaver & Connection Drop...
James: Thanks for your reply... For now, I've put the screensaver setting back where it's been all along... until last week when I started having problems. I'm assuming it's 'fixed' now. I switched to the 'Blank' screen thinking it might be easier on the display and easier on my Dad... it seems both were false premises. I guess most modern CRTs don't get 'burn in' anyway and Dad found it confusing that the computer was on but the screen was dark. I guess I tried to fix something that wasn't broke.

Peter, It sounds like the machine is actually powering down the display hardware, in which case VNC cannot pull pixel data back from it. The latest VNC Enterprise & Personal Edition servers include code to explicitly request that display hardware be powered back on, so you might try using one of those as the server to determine whether it addresses the problem you're seeing.

XP 'Blank' Screensaver & Connection Drop...
Hello: This may be somewhat off topic, but if someone has an answer, I would much appreciate it. I've been using RealVNC to help administer my Dad's computer (Windows XP) for about eight months now and it has been working nearly flawlessly. During the entire time, I've had the screensaver (on the server machine) disabled. Recently, I set the screensaver to 'Blank'... which is not properly a screen saver, I guess, but rather puts the screen into sort of a sleep mode. (I'm pretty sure Dad's monitor is still a CRT.) There is a setting in the RealVNC Server Properties (under the 'Inputs' tab) to 'Allow input events to affect the screensaver'. This has always been checked. After setting the 'Blank' screensaver, it appears as though connection via VNC is blocked when the screen is dark (or asleep ?). I'm now getting "Connection closed unexpectedly" errors immediately after (otherwise) successfully connecting to the server. Is this the expected behavior from this particular screensaver mode and/or would the same thing happen if I had the option (in XP's Power Options) set to 'Turn off monitor' after x minutes? Thanks.

RealVNC completely kills LAN connection in XP SP3
This is strange only because I am running RealVNC on several machines and it works just fine on all of them except one. The one with the problem, has a fresh install of Windows XP SP3. RealVNC will connect for a random period of time between 10 seconds and 2 minutes, then lock up, lose its conncetion, and then kill my LAN connection on the client side only. The connection to the internet is completely lost until the machine is rebooted. This only happens when I connect with RealVNC to one particular host. In other words, I have 5 hosts in my address book. It works great with no problems connecting to 4 of them, but this lock up problem happens every time I connect to the one problematic host. All 4 good hosts are Win2k machines, the problematic host is another XP SP3 machine (if that might make a difference). When using any one of the Win2K machines as clients, I can connect to the problematic XP SP3 just fine with no problems. Also, when using the problematic XP as the CLIENT, and connecting back to the original XP as the host, everything still OK. It just seems to be these two particular machines, in the outbound direction, that are not getting along. - I have tried uninstalling network adapters, resetting TCP/IP using netsh, and pinging. I can ping the loopback, and local IP successfully, but cannot ping the router until I reboot. - I have no firewalls set up in Windowsand all port forwarding on the routers is configured correctly. - I have checked the Event Viewer, and there doesn't appear to be any messages regarding this problem. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Kyle Parisi ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list

What happens if you try to log in as the second user *first* and then switch to the "first" user? IIRC, when I was trying to log into machines with multiple users I would *always* get booted off when changing users under Windows.

connection dropped under certain user in XP
I am running the latest version of VNC under win XP as a service. I am connecting with the terminal server client from an Ubuntu Linux laptop. I can connect to the XP "server" just fine. When I log in as one user (using the XP login screen) all is well. If I try to log in as another user then my VNC connection is immediately dropped upon login.

Connection closed upon Windows login
I have a problem. I have a XP machine running Free VNC Server. I am able to connect to the computer remotely. The connection is established, and VNC Server accepts the password. Upon login to the host I am carried to the Windows login screen (this happens even if an account is already logged in). On the host there are two accounts, a password protected admin and the guest account is turned on. When I try to log into either of these accounts (keep in mind that I am already connected through VNC) the connection is dropped upon login. I got a friend to sit at the host when I try to login, and he says that it is indeed logging into the account I try to log into, but I am just loosing my connection. VNC is running as a service on the computer and I have allowed it as an exception through the Windows firewall at the appropriate port. I disabled all other antivirus software on the pc and it still happens. Can anyone help me? ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list

sorry to be a pain but under a little pressure so do not have time to fully read can this server be set up to accept a query from the client without me being at the server? ie.

VNC connection problems- I have tried everything!
I am having a major problem connecting to my VNC server using VNsea(iphone), and I know a lot of other people do too. I don't think it is a problem with VNsea, the router or the VNC server. I think it is some sort of problem with the internet service provider. I did a few tests... 1. When connected via EDGE or an outside wifi network, I COULD NOT access my desktop's VNC server using VNsea. 2. When my iPhone is connected to my home wifi network, and the IP address in VNsea is set to my PC's local IP address(192.168.1.101), then I can connect with no problem. I enlisted the help of my friend who lives in a different city and who uses a different ISP(his is Cox, mine is Comcast). I could connect to my friend's VNC server using VNsea on the iPhone, and he could connect to my desktop's VNC server using UltraVNC Viewer(he doesn't have an iPhone). That tells me that both of our routers and VNC servers are set up correctly. So that rules out the VNC servers and the routers as causing the problem. VNsea worked perfectly when I tried to access my friend's VNC server, so VNsea seems to be working properly on my iPhone. The only thing left to blame is the ISP. I don't know what the issue could be, but it seems like the problem lies there. Any input? iPhone service provider: T-Mobile($5.99 tZones) Home ISP: Comcast ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
RE: Vnc Viewer 4.1 - Connection refused
Alex, Neither of those would give "Connection refused", which indicates that the TCP stack on the computer receiving the connection request *actively* refused it, meaning that no VNC server is accepting connections on the specified port on that computer (which may mean it's not the computer you thought it was...). -- Wez @ RealVNC Ltd > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Pelts > Sent: 27 February 2008 19:53 > To: Dave > Cc: vnc-list@realvnc.com > Subject: Re: Vnc Viewer 4.1 - Connection refused > > Most likely firewall problem unless they are on the different > networks. > Then it is probably ports blocked by a router. > > Alex > > > Dave wrote: > > I have Vnc 4.1 running on Windows XP > > Both the desktop & Laptop tops have identical Servers And Viewers I > > can view the laptop from my Desktop with no problem but if > I try and > > view the desktop from the laptop then it says Connection > refused I'm > > not using any password, the firewalls are Windows own & I > use a Belkin > > Adsl modem/router As far as I can see the settings on both > machine are > > the same > > > > Can any-one help ? > > > > Thanks > > > > Dave Harris > > ___ > > VNC-List mailing list > > VNC-List@realvnc.com > > To remove yourself from the list visit: > > http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list > > > ___ > VNC-List mailing list > VNC-List@realvnc.com > To remove yourself from the list visit: > http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list > ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
Re: Vnc Viewer 4.1 - Connection refused
Most likely firewall problem unless they are on the different networks. Then it is probably ports blocked by a router.

Re: Help: Connection Timeout (10060)
Hi Steve, That did the trick, thanks for the portforward pages... My question is... what has changed behind the scenes that from one day to another my dynamin IP address was not able to recognize my external IP address and I needed to create an static IP address?
