This is a very interesting question to me. In my own case, I do have SSH setup thru Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) for my local network and I use VNC thru that connection when I need to manage my own stuff remotely. However, I have to admit that when I use VNC to aid remote clients (which happ

Before anything else, see the numerous posts (and occasional flame--"lazy???") on Why Open VNC Connections Are a Bad Idea. >1. Given that the router assigns its own IP addresses to each PC in our network (192.168.1.101, 102, 103, etc.) how do we assign port numbers to each PC so that each of th

The problem is the client. When connecting to a server, you can specify the port offset from 5900 via "x:" in the connect string. I don't know how to make the client use a different base. Regards, Andy Angelo Sarto wrote: If I may ask, why hardcode? The configuration allows any port to be selec

Well-- 1. Don't expose your VNC port on the internet. Just expose the SSH port. 2. If you do connect to the VNC server in question, you're going thru SSH. Andy Greg Berrill wrote: I am setting up my VNC software and am going to make the connection be tunnelled through SSH. i was just wonder

I think you are confusing SSH timeouts (which I get sporadically myself when connecting to my business LAN) with the VNC freeze. In my experience, the VNC freeze only occurs when the underlying network connection itself hangs. Although it may appear that the problem is VNC-related (since you ca

Sure VNC does. You just set the preferences to allow multiple clients to connect to the same machine. I do that all the time. Helpful when other developers and myself both need to look at the desktop for a given remote box with a problem. Andy John Aldrich wrote: Ahh... You want two peopl

To my knowledge this is asked quite often. I believe that that VNC is not "spyware" in this sense of the word. You would have to write custom software on each PC that would look for incoming VNC connections and artificially color the icon to "not in use". With the right approach on NT, one coul

If you've tried everything else, download free trial of Ethereal and sniff the port. It will tell you if anything is making it in. It sounds to me like "something" is blocking what you've got. On a more local note--when you run VNC in service mode you should get the VNC icon showing up on your

Bob, I would agree with you about disconnect. I have exactly the same setup with the following diffs: 1. If you are only going out (from home to remote), no need for the home router to do anything with port 22. On my network, port 22 is indeed going to my local DMZ machine but that's only so
