Already exist. See

I noticed that there were several questions regarding using VNC and
firewalls in the FAQ (50, directly and 51-54 indirectly) and a
write-up in the contrib section on the subject, so I thought I'd share
my experience with the community.

If you want to set up a modem or ISDN based firewall/router solution, check
out Smoothwall. Its idiot proof to set up, and will run on a basic 486, or
indeed a laptop (thats a good idea that!). Its Linux based, and you get a
web front end, which you access from the rest of your network, to dial ou
Under Win9x and Win ME, use WINIPCFG.EXE. Under WinNT & Win2k, use IPCONFIG
/ALL from a command prompt.

Is the VNC server started at all? Can you connect?

Not completely sure
I installed VNC on 3 pc's without any problems. But at the 4th (for me
the most important) I don't see a VNC-server icon at the rigth of the
taskbar.

VNC is not a commercial product. No pay, no cure, as they say. :-)

NetMeeting and pcAnywhere hook into Windows at a lower level than
VNC
I examined the cygwin/xfree stuff after several people here
pointed it out. I haven't played with it yet, but in addition
to the X server stuff there is also an Xvnc server in the contrib directory.
Thanks,

Ik have questions about VNC. I'm using Windows Millennium
1. Why is VNC slower than other remote control-software? Netmeeting and
pcAnywhere are faster than VNC. I've got a cable modem.
2. Why does VNC not use a compression method? Doing so, VNC can work
faster.
3. Why is the optio

Yeah, I found that too. VMWare's video code leaves some to be desired.
If you're going to be doing anything in text mode I would certainly suggest
using telnet from the host. Much faster than VMWare's

For all of the tinkerers out there, I see that VNC works through a
VMWare window. Neat way to run linux/xwindows with vnc on MS
platforms. I've been having all kinds of geek fun playing with these
toys.

Just keep one thing in mind, what you would be able to display on these
Xvnc sessions would only be X windows programs (either running locally
on the Windows machine, having compiled them using cygwin, or on
another Unix machine with the display set to the Xvnc display). In
other words, not multip

Why is there no support or service department of VNC in The Netherlands? I am

Thanks, I wasn't aware of cygwin/xfree. I'm wondering
if porting Xvnc to Windows might be another approach
that is relatively painless? I think it might be neat
to have a Windows box serving up multiple Xvnc servers
out to win/unix vnc clients.

All,
In the path of Jeremy Peak's enhanced version of VNC, I'm modifying the Win32
v3.3.3r7 to play better with bandwidth challenged connections. In my case, my
128Kbps upstream cable connection. In my attempts to make the "glamorous",
but potentially bandwidth consuming, OS features optional (
Most of the default X clients are able compile and run and are able to be
displayed locally and remotely on X servers including Saddiq's (et al) beta
quality Win32 X server (which is a direct port of XFree86) included in
XFree86 4.0.2.
The page you're looking for is here:
http://cygwin.com/xfree/
How difficult would it be to port the VNC X server to Win9X/NT using
the cygwin tools?
The cygwin people have ported most of the X clients, but an up-to-date
free X server for Win32 seems to be missing. I was thinking that perhaps
a port of the VNC X server to windows might not be that difficult

Yes as logon WinVNC is running in server mode on one of the machines and the
person who is running in server mode tells the other their IP address you
should be able to connect over the internet. WinVNC will run a little slow
over a phone modem connection though.

You'll be able to use VNC as long as you know the IP address of the target
machine, and as long as it's not behind some weird firewall at your ISP.
Hover the mouse over the VNC Server system tray icon, get the IP from the
tooltip that pops up, and you should be away.

Hi
I would like to control my mother's WIN ME machine from my WIN NT machine.
Our computers are not connected.
I understand that a TCP/IP connection should be established in order to use

If both machines will be connected to the internet on the same time will I be
able to
use VNC?
Thanks
