Re: VPN and VNC

I've seen this happen with DNS problems based on the VPN. It depends on what your DNS server is set to at the time. To check this, try using the ip address of the machine that you want to connect to instead of the host name. If it works, then it's the way your VPN is handling the DNS. And f

Re: VNC 3.3.7 and RH8 install

I wanted to put in a thanks as well. I've been using RedHat since 5.2, and had no clue about the rpm-build feature. I just figured that the source rpms were a different way to distribute the source for folks who don't like tar. I didn't know that you could create your very own rpm out of them!

RedHat 7.3 install from RPM?

Hm.. I just installed the 3.3.7 RPM for VNC on RedHat 7.3. I've previously used tight-vnc, which installs the /etc/services/vncservers file and the /etc/init.d/vncserver startup script, but I don't see either of these from the RPM installation. I checked the docs at http://www.realvnc.com/gettin

I would have posted the link to the FAQ entry, but I couldn't find it. If you're using mandrake, edit your /$HOME/.vnc/xstartup file and make it only have the following two lines: #!/bin/sh exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc then save it and ensure that the file is executable. That way, whatever you

Re: Making VNC work with a Router

You need to give us a bit more information. 1) What operating system are you running? 2) Which version of VNC are you running? 3) When you say "other locations", do you mean from the other side of the cable modem? (such as at work, etc) 4) Are you able to connect to the vnc server from a computer

Yep, my suggestion would be to forget the MSI package, unless you absolutely have to have it. At my work, we decided to use FastPush and it's awesome! Now that we have it set up, I can deploy VNC to any computer on our WAN in seconds. We have sites all over the state,

Re: Another question about Cadence slowness

Okay, I'm going to try uninstalling TightVNC 1.2.8 tonight and take a look at the latest RealVNC (3.3.7?) to see if it's significantly faster in my non-scientific opinion than TightVNC. I didn't see an RPM for RedHat 9, so I guess I'm gonna have to compile it. Oh, joy. :) - Original Message
