VNC and Apache Reverse Proxy

2002-01-07 Thread Christopher Tesla
Okay, here's a doozy: I have several Windows 2000 servers all running VNC as a service. I normally invoke the viewer from my workstation to control the servers, but I want to create a web-based system where I and other administrators can access the servers remotely using the java client. I am

Thanks to Michael Ossmann for the last response on this issue. I have since made some more discoveries, and of course that leads to more questions. I temporarily switched to using the rewrite mod instead, since I can log all redirects. I am also using Netscape, since I can get the Java Console

VNCProxy add on

Still on the whole proxy kick... Has anyone had any luck getting the add-on VNCProxy to work? I downloaded the IBM XML Parser for Java 3.2.1 and the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition v1.3.1. They are both installed and in the PATH (running W2K Pro). How do I redirect the VNC traffic? I edited the

The Apache system will reverse proxy the HTTP requests, but once you reach the VNC requests it falls down. You need a way to redirect RFB traffic as well. I have tried several proxy servers, but they all seem to want to utilize HTTP. I set them up and when I initiate the viewer I get Invalid Pro

Do you have a static IP address through the cable company? Since the cable modems have the external NAT IP set via DHCP by the ISP you may be seeing your IP address changed. So you are able to connect, but in between a request by the viewer and a response from the server the IP address is changi

I have a linux box (RH7.2) and am running multiple VNC server instances. I have several user accounts, and each user account has VNCSERVER running on a particular display. So user JSMITH runs VNCSERVER :4, and when he wants to connect to the box he connects to 192.168.1.10:2 and uses his own pas

It depends on what you want to do. If you want to hide the process so that users do not know you are viewing their desktop then I don't know what to do. Refer to all the extensive talk about legal and ethical issues that has been on this list. If you just want to hide it so that people cannot cl

I have done this with great success, and not just with VNC either. All my software distribution is via Group Policy. The problem I ran into using Group Policy Distribution and VNC is installing the service. Simply assigning VNC to the machines works fine, but if I try to also install the WinVNC

Watching video using VNC

2002-03-21 Thread Christopher Tesla
A recent question regarding using VNC to view streaming media caught my eye. I have a home network with several computers. I regularly use VNC to control machines from other machines. Everything is W2K. I have a computer with a video-in card that is plugged into my TV downstairs. I can run the
