RE: Cannot connect locally or remotely

Yes, it should work from remote. However, you need to know what your external IP address is and also forward port 5900. You really should tunnel your VNC connection somehow, as free VNC does not encrypt the session and anything you do (including passwords) can be sniffed. Also, did you register VN

Yep. Windows firewall can be kinda tricky as you don't have to turn it on... it's automatically enabled in Windows XP SP2, which is a good thing. :-) > -Original Message- > From: Simon Cole [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2006 6:29 PM > To: John Aldrich; vnc-list@realvn

One other thing... it looks like the how-to for installing SSH in Windows is a bit outdated. There's a pretty good "all-in-one" installer that installs everything you need here: http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/ John -Original Message- From: Stan Barabas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

realvnc and nokia n80

Hi, I'm using the personal edition of the vnc and I'm interested to buy the new Nokia N80. I would like to know if you think that I'll be able to use it on the nokia N80 (symbian) and so access my computer from my nokia. Thanks! Fulvio di Stefano ___ V

Right, but due to his question i figured he was not as techincal so i was thinking more of the 'canned' encryption options that are available. On Thursday 11 May 2006 08:39 pm, Andrey Vul wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > use _any_ vnc product and just do cygwin ssh(_wi

inetd and vncconfig ???

1) Is there any way to "detect" a Xvnc connection instance so that the xsession or xinitrc script only launches vncconfig for a Xvnc connection ??? 2) Does each Xvnc instance need its own copy of vncconfig or can vncconfig support multiple Xvnc 3) How does vncconfig know which Xvnc display

I wrote a while back: I installed realvnc vnc-4.1.1 on several windows 95 machines, after first installing winsock2 and restarting w95. All looked OK, but nmap showed no vnc port open and attempts to connect met with "not accepting connections". I tried running vnc in a dos window of w95, bu

RE: inetd and port 59(xx) gives me empty test pattern greyscreen ???

It sounds as if your xinit isn't getting called for some reason, so you're not getting the window manager of choice. Don't know if that'll help you any. I know that when I ssh in and manually start VNC on my Fedora Core 3 system (and it was the same in RedHat 9) the VNC startup script called /etc/X

That was quick!

RE: inetd and port 59(xx) gives me empty test pattern greyscreen ???

yup I figured that out and tried it .. that works But I also discovered that you can use the following vncserver -query -once With the above you do not need to add "/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc" to the start up script, in fact with the above you should comment everything out of the star

RE: inetd and port 59(xx) gives me empty test patterngreyscreen ???

;-) I don't recall right off what the "unix" means in the font path, but is the URI format required to connect to a broadcasting font server. I'll look for the info later. As far as /etc/services, I thought that /etc/services was mandatory for using Xvnc in inetd mode because they work together

Version 4.1.2

Kudos for the quick fix! A lot of us are not going to be able to install it without the source though. When will it be released? I recommend everyone running VNC behind SSH if possible to mitigate these attacks. ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc
