-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
First...is there a "searchable" version of the list archives? I went to the list archive site, but couldn't find any way to search for specific topics. Since I can't seem to search the archives, I hope you'll forgive me if the following issue(s) have been well covered here in the past... Now and then (it's becoming pretty often now), I help some family members and friends with various basic computer issues, and we find RealVNC to be a wonderful tool for this. Though we're not passing along any state secrets, I'd still rather use a secure method for the data transfer...if possible. Since I've never dealt with "SSH" type tunneling before, I'd like some advice from those who have. The way I've always gone about using RealVNC is this: 1) I run my NVC viewer 2) I have the other party run the VNC server on their machine, then have them "Add New Client" by putting my IP address in the host field. This works very nicely for our basic connection, and it's very easy for them. Now...if I'd like to set up a more secure encrypted "tunneling" system, where do I begin? I've never done anything like this before, so I'll need to learn about this from the very beginning. Links to "Tunneling for Dummies" sites, etc. will be greatly appreciated! Especially sites that deal specifically with RealVNC in this regard would be helpful. Also...while some of my family and friends have broadband connections, some of them are still using dial-up. If I can manage to set up some sort of secure tunneling for our VNC connections, will we expect to see any significant slowing of the connection? Oh yes, and this... I don't know if this would make difference in the process, but these connections need to be made to and from various versions of Windows. I'm running WinXP Home, and the others are using anything from Win98SE, WinME, to WinXP Home and Pro. You're very welcome to answer any questions I haven't thought to ask as well! :-) Thanks! - -- Melissa My PGP public keys: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&Body=Please%20send%20keys -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFAkas/jVbXUvsE8ukRAgBaAJ46NKd70Qzgbn7ACN7/8Rr4T1k7MgCgtzfy 9pkMZfDtc5zB+J5swJ6xRik= =hIcL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
