vnc problem with linux firewall

I'm not sure if you guys could help because I am using tightvnc on linux mandrake 10.1. Anyway the problem is that when I turned on the firewall and opened the ports vnc server uses, namely 5900 and 5800, I couldn't connect. Keep in mind I was able to connect before. So, then I turned off the

Re: Request for a little support :-)

Another option would be to use a service such as Glance (www.glance.net) which behaves exactly as you describe. Trouble is, it costs $49.95 per month. But, on the plus side, it is absolutely trivial to setup and get going, and it doesn't matter if anyone is behind a strict firewall. So, if this

RE: Request for a little support :-)

it sounds like your problem is that you are behind a firewall (either personal or router based) which is blocking the connection coming into you from the internet. You will need to 'forward' port 5900 to your local ip address. This is normally handled in the router software. DTSig ___

RealVNC Client v4.1 - fullscreen <-> minimize problem

Dear All, I am new to this list. I am interested in sharing my desktop, via the Internet, with a group of students with disabilities. I simply want the students to be able to see my desktop and mouse movements. I do not want them to have control over anything on my PC. I downloaded and install

Re: VNC connection

Michael: Heya. So what does the UI of EchoVNC report when you install it alongside your RealVNC Server? It will try to detect your VNC server listening on the loopback interface (127.0.0.1). If it can detect a VNC server, you should be able to make VNC connections with it. -Scott PS: We upd

I'm not exactly sure how they do it, I suppose they must use a mediation server. Whereas straight RDP requires the "supported" PC to have port 3389 open, the Remote Assistance only requires outbound access to 3389 from both PC's. While this may be blocked by some corporate firewalls, standard h

X authentication

Hi, I am having what looks like an X authentication error. When I run a program from my desktop, telling it to run in :1, where my vncserver is running, I get error messages. I can see the vnc server with a vncviewer. The vnccconfig and xterms are running, and the usual grey background is there. I

If both computers are XP, and you would like your parents to request your help, then I would recommend using the built-in Remote Assistance feature of XP. Your parents would simply email you a request, and you will be able to immediately take control of the desktop. http://www.microsoft

Scott, Fundamentally, no - Administrators are similar in capabilities to the root user on UNIX platfirms, and cannot therefore be prevented from manipulating the machine in any way they wish. There are some registry-only settings that can be used to grey out the Options and Close Server tray icon

Vsevolod, Can you check what version your VNC server is logging in the relevant log file? (~/.vnc/coach:18.log should be the path to the log file). /usr/share/vnc/classes is where VNC Viewer for Java is normally served from. Are you having problems with VNC Viewer for Java? Earlier you said tha

Re: VNC Icon

Have you considered content-filtering firewall ? Most of them are packaged as a service solution, so there's a monthly fee, but it sure beats in-person monitoring. Alex Mel Dundas-taylor wrote: Hi, I've just subscribed to this site and am probably asking an already answered question. I admin
