Re: Essential RPM packages for RH7.3

Stephen, You can operate two way traffic, by running the server on both machines. I don't recommend, however, using a machine as a client and a server at the same time, for performance reasons. That is, it is perfectly all right to sometimes connect to the Linux box from the Windows box, and

VNC Package for GPO

2002-08-20 Thread Matt Neimeyer
I've been using VNC for a while now and love it. We're in the process of redoing our network around Win2K Pro and Server and I was wondering are there any MSI packages out there of WinVNC that are compatible with being pushed out by a Group Policy? If so does it include all the "toys" I'd need

VNC and GLX on AIX

Cannot connect via VNC when no one logged on to PC

We have been running VNC on our NT/W2K servers and PCs for a couple of years with no problem. Just recently, we cannot connect via VNC to the W2K servers or PCs if the machine is not logged on. VNC says the authentication failed. If we then log on to the PC, then we can VNC to it fine. We do run V

I am almost positive this can't currently be done with the browser, however it can be done with the viewer. The viewer is a tiny executable and in my experience it runs faster and more reliable than the browser, but I use M$ I.E. so ... Anyways, if you decide to go to the viewer all you

I am using a workstion with WinXP (german). After the installation, it is possible to connect to the VNC-Servers, but after a while (mostly after moving a window), VNC closes the connection. This happens with several VNC-Servers (NT 4.0, Win2000, Suse Linux) This problem does not occur on a Win98S
