How is the W2K server PC exposed to the outside world? Via a firewall with NAT and a static IP?
Regards, Rob. -----Original Message----- From: shaun thornburgh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 April 2004 16:28 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: VNC on Win2K Server Hi, I have installed VNC on our Windows 2000 Server Machine. However, I am unable to connect to our machine from outside of the office. When I try I get a message saying either: 'This server does not have a valid password enabled. Until a password is set, incoming connections cannot be accepted.' or 'Your connection has been rejected.' I have set a password using the properties dialog box. I have tried accessing this via http using http://My IP:5800 in a browser and I get to the login screen. If I enter an incorrect password I get the 1st message, however if I enter the correct password I get the second error message. I have asked our office network company to open incoming and outgoing VNC ports on the firewal. I am also able to ping in to the server and out of the server. I am lost now and don't know what else to try, please help! _________________________________________________________________ Stay in touch with absent friends - get MSN Messenger http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
