RE: Disconnects with 4.1

Yeah.. It's pretty obvious that SOMETHING is listening on port 5900... I'd double-check the services to make sure you don't have an older version of VNC still there. I've done that a time or two, especially with the Devel version of TightVNC which doesn't install into registry, it only installs as

RE: Disconnects with 4.1

Do you have another version of VNC running on the same PC or trying to run, or something else trying to take port 5900? That's what it sounds like the problem is. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dennis Bathory-Kitsz Sent: Tuesday, December 13,

RE: no matching security types again and again !!!!

Patrick: What is actually happening is that you are NOT connecting to OSXvnc but are connected to the built in Apple Remote Desktop server which also runs on port 5900. OSXvnc does not have any proprietary authentication or encryption mechanisms. The easiest resolution is to turn off ARD which c

RE: RealVnc 100% cpu usage

Andrew, "Poll console windows for updates" causes console windows (.e.g. Command Prompt windows) to be polled for updates, since the normal VNC Hooks mechanism doesn't work for such windows. You may wish to try VNC Server Personal or Enterprise Edition (http://www.realvnc.com/products/enterprise)

Hi James, Thanks very much for you quick response. We have version 4.1.1. The contents of the desktop can be totally static and we still get 100% cpu. I have played with the settings in capture method and by turning "Poll console windows for updates" off have got the cpu usage down to about 10%

RE: More than 1 session

That would be why you can't have a separate session for each user. I believe, and I'll gladly be corrected by those with more knowledge than I, that you need to spawn a new session from xinetd, per the FAQs. Check out http://faq.gotomyvnc.com/fom-serve/cache/57.html

RE: RealVnc 100% cpu usage

Andrew, Is the VNC Server configured to poll for changes to the desktop? Are the contents of the desktop changing rapidly? Are you using the latest VNC Server Free Edition release (VNC 4.1.1)? Regards, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMA

RE: Disconnects with 4.1

Dennis, The fact that VNC Server won't accept connections except on the localhost interface on port 5900 suggests that something else is using that port, which is obviously a very bad thing since port 5900 is the standard RFB port number used by VNC. You may wish to run netstat -abn to list all t
