Crash with Mac OS X (vnc server) and Windows XP (vnc viewer)

2006-09-07 Thread Francois Cusson-Lafrenaye
Hello all ! I have a weird problem, which seems to be "unfoundable" in Google. I'm using RealVNC Viewer 4.1.2 (mai 2006) on Windows XP SP2 to connect on Mac OS X 10.4 servers (two different servers, to different clients, to different cities, etc.). On both connections, after not using the view

I am trying to connect to an OS X 10.4.x GS4 running 1.71 from PCs. I have to have ARD running on 5900 and have OSX set to start on 5909 From an older PC running realvnc installed a year ago I can connect on port 0 but not port 5909. On the ARD port it gives me the login screen for vnc, I login

I find it's easiest to test with telnet. From the machine where you plan to run the viewer, telnet server 5900 (If you're server is running Mac OS or Unix and your display number is not 0, add the display number to 5900). Then if the remote computer answers with: RFB 003.008 you know connectivi

If I understand what you're trying to do properly, I would recommend setting up Xvnc inside the Xsession file for your display manager (xdm or gdm or whatever it is these days on Solaris). Then you can have a few desktops with a standard X display login waiting for you - some shared, some not - so

Paul, A lot of modern firewalls & routers come with ping disabled by default (which is naughty). Ping is not required to work for VNC to work. If you configured your router to forward port 5900 to your VNC server computer, and connect to the router's public IP address from the laptop, all should

I would like to configure my two Sun boxes running Solaris 8 so that I can connect with the VNCViewer and get a Solaris DTlogin. I managed to do this on one workstation only with entries in /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf. The second one has the same Solaris version and newest recommended pat

Hi Manuel, There is a hard limit of ~60 connections to VNC Server for Windows at any one time, which is imposed by the operating system. In order to serve extremely large numbers of viewers, you will need to "cascade" VNC servers. This can be achieved most easily by running virtual desktops usin

Alex, If you ever run a Windows program which "hooks" the clipboard and which either crashes or simply fails to unhook itself before quitting then the clipboard hooking chain can be broken and any applications that hooked the clipboard before the failing one will never be notified again of changes

Hi John, Yes, you can connect from the server computer to itself. If the desktop you're connecting to is the one on which you're running the viewer, though, as will be the case for Windows systems, then you'll get a "hall of mirrors" effect, which is harmless but can be confusing! Regards, Wez

I'm using Reflection before VNC to use unix in winxp. I got one small issue. When I start vncview, I found esc-esc(press twice on esc key, ksh will have add the filename if only one file is matched) doesn't work. Is there any solution? Thanks Qiang Yiliang _
