Yep. You got it... IP:0 is "session zero" ie. IP::5900. You don't have to type IP:5900 as port 5900 is the default.
Single colon is the session # you're trying to access (primarily on *nix machines, but if you're using a non-standard port, you can access it that way.) DOUBLE-Colon, i.e. :: is used to tell VNC that the next number is a PORT number. As for the syntax :5920, yes, that's incorrect syntax. You're telling it to use session 5-thousand-nine-hundred-twenty, which doesn't exist. You should either drop the "59" part or use double-colon. That is, either type "IP:20" or "IP::5920". At least that's what I understand from hanging around on this list for the past year or so. :-) -----Original Message----- From: Stephen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 4:14 PM To: John Aldrich Subject: Re: What on Earth is Session Zero? ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Aldrich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Stephen'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <vnc-list@realvnc.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 8:59 PM Subject: RE: What on Earth is Session Zero? > That's the problem... you either need to do DOUBLE-colon 5920 or just :20 > (SINGLE-Colon) > > Best to do the DOUBLE-colon and the port number if you're using something > other than the default, in my personal opinion.

What's the difference between a double colon and a single colon, and why does ip address:5900 work on the ME PC with a single colon? Is ip address:0 what is meant by "session zero"? Is ip address:20 session 20? Is ip address::5920 session 20? Is ip address:5920 incorrect syntax? _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
