"zipDog",
This means that the server is not offering any security methods that the
viewer supports. If you run vncviewer with the -console and
-log=*:stderr:100 options, you'll see debug output as the connection is
being made that will include the list of security methods the server is
offering.
The resolution to this issue is to configure your server to use No
authentication or VNC Password authentication, both of which are
supported by the standard VNC Viewer.
Cheers,

I am running RealVNC 4.1.1 on an XP Pro SP 2 laptop and OSXvnc 1.61 on a
Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.3.
I am attempting to operate the Powerbook remotely on my LAN using the VNC
Viewer on the PC. When I attempt the VNC connection I receive the error "No
matching security types. Do you wish to attempt to reconnect to [Mac server
name]?" This error message redisplays instantly if I choose "Ok".
I have seen threads similar to this one posted around the interwebs, but
none offer any resolutions to this issue. I have taken the following
troubleshooting steps based on the information I got reading other posts:
1) Windows Firewall is disabled. The Windows Firewall/Internet
Connection Sharing Service is stopped.
2) Norton Antivirus has been disabled and all Symantec services
stopped.
3) Port settings on the OSXvnc server are set to Display number 0 and
Port 5900. Display number=auto also failed with the same message (although
using the 'auto' setting changed the port to 5901 [greyed out]). The XP Pro
viewer client does not appear to have port settings under it's options.
4) Connection has been attempted using both the server name and direct
IP addressing. Both failed identically.
5) The XP Pro viewer client options have been cycled through in the
following manner, each with identical failure: Color & Encoding: Auto, ZRLE,
Hextile and RAW. Color level: each setting was tried with each Color and &
Encoding setting listed in the previous sentence.
6) Password removed from OSXvnc Server.
Any and all troubleshooting steps or advice welcome. Alternate application
suggestions are also welcome. Please refrain from mocking my need to control
a Mac remotely with a PC, which seems to be a common response to this
question, as opposed to actual useful information. Thanks in advance,
zipDog
