Re: VNC through port 80? - having problems

2002-03-21 Thread Nicholas . J . Melchi
I was very happy to see someone actually get this to work. One question though. In step 2, you state you use the viewer. Are you referring to the Java "web" viewer or the standard viewer? When I type in ":-5879" into the standard VNC Viewer, I get the error "Invalid Protocol" right away. If I

I've set my router to forward port 443 to 443 on the machine I'm trying to connect to. I set my VNC server to use display 60079. When I try to connect using the Java client, I get the "RFB 003.003" message. What does that message actually mean? When I try to connect using the regular client I

I'm confused why it won't work internally at work. Any ideas on that? I've got the display number set to 59716 and still get the RFB message when trying via a browser, and get "Failed to connect to server" error when I do it via the normal client. Nick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL

Ok, I have set my display number to be 59716. When I type in "http://" into my browser, I get the message "RFB 003.003" message. I have tried forwarding port 80 to port 5900 and 5800 to the box I'm trying to access, but get the RFB message either way. What did I do wrong that I'm getting that R

Thanks for that information. However, when I try to type in "-5820" in my display number field, it won't accept the "-". Is this correct? How can I set VNC to run on port 80 if it won't take the negative number? Thanks again, Nick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/21/20

I've now got both ports 5800 and 5900 forwarding (on my router) to the Win2k machine I'm trying to connect to. I just read that the Java client doesn't work when behind a web proxy (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/faq.html#q18). That explains why I still can't get connected via java clien
