Bandwidth Limitation of VNC
We are trying to use Win VNC to view maps & info via a remote terminal, with this degree of complexity of information the update is very slow. Our VNC client needs to run on a Compaq IPAQ which kind of rules out TightVNC. I have tried both our Wireless network and wired network, with the client and server being the only devices on the network. The findings as to VNC seeming to be band limited apply between an IPAQ and server over a wireless network and also a Laptop and server over a wired network. I am confident that the hardware I am using is not the limitation. I appreciate that VNC is designed to work well over low bandwidth connections, however what I would like to know is, what is it that limits the VNC software from making the best available use of the bandwidth available. Our computers are connected via a 10MB network and yet the peak bandwidth used by VNC is about 11K p/sec. Also does anybody know how we can modify the software to make best use of the bandwidth available to the software. - To unsubscribe, send a message with the line: unsubscribe vnc-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html -

A lot has to do with the encoding method you choose. Are you using "copyrect hextile" or something else? If the former, you may want to try some of the other encodings (maybe even raw, if bandwidth really isn't the issue) to see if you can get better performance with different--or no--encoding. Also, you might want to consider the color depth of your display. It certainly takes less time to encode 8 bits than 24 or 32, although some people claim 16 works best (I'm not sure that I completely understand why, though). -- Work: It's not just a job, it's an indenture. - To unsubscribe, send a message with the line: unsubscribe vnc-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html -

Hi Steve, Thanks for the reply. In answer to your questions: I had vnc working this way by using application mode (although this doesn't seem to work now). Other than that, no. The colours are set to 16 colours. This is becuase the server is only using the on-board graphics (as it never should have a monitor connected anyway) Re: Password - The connection closed message only occurs after I have typed in the correct password (If I type the wrong one it I get VNC authentication failed).

Needing informations
Hello, First question: I am using your Fabulous product under a LAN using Windows NT4. I wished to change the password on the servers I support, and so used the "Service helper" in which I made the change being logged as Administrator. It appeared that after unlogging the remote servers, the password hadn't been changed. I checked the registry and discovered that only the HKEY_CURENT_USER had the new password, but not HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, so I copied it to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Which worked all right, but I doubt that this is the easiest way to do and wonder why it didn't work on the first try. Could you please help me understanding what the problem was, as I'll have to change this password regularly and would rather save some time doing it. Second question: I noticed that connecting a remote client running an "Extra" session causes CPU use to go up to 100% , according to the informations found in the FAQs ,I tried modifying the parameters in "Update Handling" with no success. Is there any known reasons to that, or any incompatibility between VNC and EXTRA ? Thanks for your advises.

RE: Needing informations
Yes, Vnc is multi user (under terminal server, and stand alone). allowing each user to have his own password when he/she is logged in. So to change the system (at login or lock screen) you need to enter the default password found in start -> programs -> vnc -> administrative tools -> show default settings. This will show the default settings in hkey local machine. If you double click the icon in the task tray, you will get the current user settings (hkey current user). note in the title bar.

RE: Bandwidth Limitation of VNC
My own experience was that on a fast network, it worked best if the client and server had the *same* color depth, I think because of the overhead of converting from one to another. (If this conversion happens in the client, this may be particularly important for viewers that run on relatively slow machines like the iPAQ. I'm actually not sure where it happens.) On a slow connection, the reduction in data sent at a lower bitrate can overwhelm that difference, but the person who started this thread said bandwidth wasn't the issue... -Original Message- From: Todd A.

This message is displayed for awhile, then the program exits when I move the mouse.

VNC authentication/authorization
Hello, I'm in the process of making changes to the 3.3.9r2 source for winvnc and the 3.3.3r2 source for the Java vncviewer to handle NT domain authentication and authorization. I had to create a new rfb protocol with some minor changes. I've called it 003.004 for now. It's backward compatible with older viewer's and should port easy enough to any authentication scheme that supports usernames, passwords and groups. The way it works on NT is with 3 optional registry settings. When these settings are missing then it default back to the old scheme. o AuthType One of "VNC" for the old single password authentication style or "OS" for OS level authentication and authorization. o DefaultUser A username (of the form or \ on NT) to use when older vncviewers connect since these can only supply a password. o AuthRole An OS group (of the form or \ on NT) to use when authorizing client sessions. The user that a client session authenticates with must be in this group. I'm not updating the C/C++ vncviewer, just the Java vncviewer since this is all I need for my requirements. I've made a first pass on the server side changes. I'm in the process of updating the Java vncviewer. I was wondering if once I finished testing my changes whether there was a process for submiting/integrating these back. I lack forward compatibility since I had to change the RFB. thanks, Bala __ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?

X server mix-up
Hello, I have configured a vnc-server (using inetd services) on my machine and I am using a a viewer on a win2k system. The unix-server is a digital-unix v 4.0F. The problem is that when I open a session I see I have logged on an X session of a DIFFERENT computer on my local network. How can this be ?

RE: exiting window manager doesn't stop vncviewer
I just tried -once and it doesn't help on either Linux/KDE or HP-UX/CDE. Hitting Logout/exit/whatever causes some things to shut down but not Xvnc itself.

I have got VNC on Linux working quite well, but it doesn't quite do what I want to do (plus it crashes KDE if I try and run it instead of twm, which is truly horrible!)

Re: x0rfbserver
I , too, have been trying to get kde to work with vnc and have come up with the following conclusions... 1)kde will NOT permit the SAME user to use more than ONE graphic interface. 2)you can specify kde, SO LONG AS you are not already logged into the system and using KDE! 3)I think that this has to do with the DCOP mechanism (whatever that is) - because it seems to be ther that it crashes. 4)You MUST use => 24 bit colour for the VNC interface (8 or 16 bit just do not work!) 5)If you want to make life easy for yourself, use WindowMaker for the VNC connection and kde for your REAL connection - this works well for me and I can even run most (though I have not done an exhaustive test) KDE applics under WindowMaker. Regards Ceri Hankey PS once you have run wmaker.inst, just replace the line 'exec twm' or 'exec startKDE' with 'exec wmaker' in $HOME/.vnc/xstartup. What I have done is to make a symbolic link in .vnc which points to xstartkde, xstartWM or xstarttwm in the smae directory. These three files are all the same except for the exec line.

Re: Bad Review of VNC at CNET
Greg, I'm with you . That review was very bad. It seemed as though the author had blinders or was biased against VNC going into it. One feature of VNC that I find I use a lot is the copying/pasting to the clipboard. The fact that I can copy stuff from the machine I'm remote controlling and and then paste on my local machine is very handy. Maybe newer versions of the competitors products can do that, but I haven't seen it. Also being an open source software opens many other doors. In some ways it can be negative, but in many others it's not. For example, there's a web portal package called Stoneware (www.stone-ware.com) that someone has written a very nice VNC hook for. You can log into your corporate web portal, which you can do over SSL, and then it can proxy a VNC session to your servers and desktops inside the network. Very slick. Good luck with your response.

Slight correction: PcAnywhere version 8 can talk to ver. 9 and vice versa - I do it at work all the time (if pca hasn't crashed previously ;).

RE: Bad Review of VNC at CNET
There are problems with the review, but we should take the valid criticisms on board. Documentation could be improved, particularly for first time users. Dialog boxes could be better from a purist HCI point of view Security can be made easier (particularly the hidden AuthHost stuff) Localization could be done properly But all of the above proves the value of open source.

Re: Bad Review of VNC at CNET
Yes, this is a pretty bad, one-sided review, seems like the author set out from the beginning with an agenda. In case you're wondering, this is a pretty typical software review, direct links to only one competing package are a clear indication of something happening behind the scenes. Here's a software review template: - will this product receive a positive review? - yes: - do we have incentives of any kind from the manufacturer? - yes: * reprint suggested pr material. the real review (if there is one) will be found between the lines. - no: * be sure to not make it look too good, provide lots of info on competing products. maybe mext time we'll get a free t-shirt. - no: - do we have incentives of any kind from the manufacturer? - yes: * hmm, make it humorous, provide more complaints about competing packages. mention the killer versions coming up rsn. the real review (if any) is between the lines. - no: * make stuff up. provide links to more profitable publishers. fud. I think it is clear where this review falls. It is interesting how 'issues' are pointed out (having to know the ip is the best!), issues which exist in competing products (how else do you connect with PCAnywhere? Voodoo? Magic wand?) That said, lack of (friendly) documentation is a real problem, took me a couple of tries to figure out how to run VNC as a service, but this is addressed with paid versions of VNC, which come complete with support.

Nope, PCAnywhere advertises that it's running. I loaded it up on my cable modem, and immediately saw a couple people in my node running PCAnywhere, one without a password. Handy feature. But then, on my local area network VNC can connect to the computer "systems1" just by typing "systems1", even though it's assigned a dynamic IP. Hm. Magic. Or just using DNS properly. One of the two, anyway.
