Hi, I am getting "Failed to connect to server" error when I try to connect to a remote machine. I listing the things I have done. Please let me know where I went wrong.
Started VNC Server (WinVNC Version 3.3.7) on remote machine 129.252.1.72 (ping works) Opened VNC Viewer on my machine and typed 129.252.1.72:0 I have also tried :2 after changing the display number on the server. I get this "Failed to connect to server" error. I am in a university, there might be some firewall, but both the machine that is running the vnc server and my local machine 129.252.1.76 are within the university, in fact in the same lab. So does the firewall restriction apply in my case. Also note that I am able to ping the vnc server machine and viceversa. Is it Windows XP, RealVNC or the firewall that is causing the problem? Any other remedies? Thanks.
