Hi,
The "one-port" option that was suggested doesnt seem to work on port 80.
The following error occured when trying to view via internet explorer a
VNC server (enterprise edition version 4.2.7 i think) with both java and
main connection set to port 80:
rfb.Exception: reading version failed: not an RFB server
This ofcourse happens before the password prompt (but after the server
selection) in the java applet.
Im not sure what is causing this. Any ideas or workarounds for this
problem?
Despite this, putting both to port 8080 seems to work fine. Just
wondering what is the deal with port 80.
Also I noticed something strange in that although the server is 4.2.7,
the client in the java applet says it is vnc viewer 4.2.6 . not sure if
this is the issue or not.
Thanks again for all your help.
Cheers
Stan

Hi there,
VNC Enterprise Edition supports "One-Port" operation, allowing VNC Viewer
for Java to be served via HTTP on the same port as VNC connections will use.

Sorry to bring this up again but two things, firstly thank
you very much
for the information, it worked fine.
Secondly, I havent tested this yet but instead of forwarding
port 5900
to my pc, change the VNC (and the java) port 80 and only
forward port 80
from my router. Will this work? or cause conflict since both the java
http port and the vnc port is 80.
Also no, im using VNC enterprise edition also security is not
really an
issue.
Thanks again for your help.
Cheers

To remove the need for ":xxxx" at the end, you need to have
the java
viewer being served on the standard http port, which is port 80.
There are two basic ways of doing this
Either:
1) Forward port 80 on your router to port 5800 on your computer,
Or (e.g. if your router does not support changing the port, or you
want to omit :5800 while _inside_ your LAN).
2) Forward port 80 on your router to port 80 on your computer, and
change the VNC java port to 80.
Port forwarding is needed because your ip address to the outside
world, is actually your IP address of your router. It then
needs to
know what to do with connections on each port - whether to
ignore them
(probably the default).
In either case, you will also need to forward port 5900 on
your router
to your PC.
NOTE: IF YOU ARE USING REALVNC FREE EDITION, THE ABOVE IS
NOT SECURE.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO TUNNEL VNC THROUGH SOME OTHER SECURE
CHANNEL, SUCH AS SSH OR VPN. (The Personal and Enterprise editions
are more secure, or take a look at VeNCrypt -
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vencrypt/ ).
You don't need Apache - Apache is for actual web-sites servers, not
other services that also use the http protocol. Indeed if you have
Apache on your system and try to change the java port to 80, one or
other will fail, because you can only have one thing
listening to port
80. If you do have Apache (or any other web-server), you can
configure it to work in harmony with VNC, by setting up a
page in it
just like the one VNC serves, but from your e-mail I'm
assuming that
you don't have Apache, and so don't need to do this.
HTH,
Stewart

I dont understand how port forwarding (due to my lack of
knowledge in
it) can solve it.
Even if i forward port 5900 and 5800 in my router does that mean i
can access the vnc server simply by typing http://<ip address>
instead of http://<ip address>:5800 ?
Sorry but im not all that familiar with port forwarding and had
several accidents with it in the past.
Thanks for you for your help!

Subject: Simple question of making VNC accessible in web browser
Hi,
I have a winXP machnine running with a VNC server on it.
What Im trying to do is access said machine from the
outside world
via
a web browser. I can do it fine if I type http://<ip
address>:5800 in
the URL where <ip address> is the ip of my computer.
Now what Im trying to do is get access when I dont have
access to port
5800. This means that when I type http://<ip address> in
the URL the
same should happen. I searched and read in a few places
saying that I
needed apache installed on my machine and that I needed to change
settings in both VNC and apache. What Im asking is how do I do
this? Are
there any tutorials that shows how I can do this?
Similar to IBM's BladeCenter management module (the
remote control
section) for those who have used/seen it before.
Thanks
