Subject: RE: a Question
originally I was responding to a question asked about remote access between
two computers on the same subnet using NetBEUI, which I
don't thing VNC supports, using software within the scope it was designed
for is always your best bet, that is to say exploiting the designed
functionality which best fits your task at hand. Applying firewall security
and Netmeeting is a whole different discussion all together, and we
all know the only true secure connection is not have one at all, as far as
running everything over a single port, that is what wrappers
do, once again, WebEx wrote their own wrapper to funnel all of the
Netmeeting functionality over Port 80 to allow them to market their
service as a true web based collaboration service. I have to say this,
utilizing the collaboration features within Netmeeting over a VPN
works just fine, I do remote administration to servers in Holland and the UK
from where I sit here in Horsham, Pa with no problems, I also
use VNC to other remote administration tasks as well and that works just
fine, it is sort of like using the right tool for the job, you don't
hammer a nail in using a pair of pliers, and you can't run VNC over NetBEUI.
I have found Netmeeting to be a "virtual" nightmare through a secure
firewall. VNC has some security problems of its own, however routing VNC
could not be simpler or more secure. Kudos for the designers of VNC on this
point. Netmeeting requires multiple outbound and inbound ports including
389, 522 and 1503. These pose a potential security risk to your network.
VNC uses its own port of 5900 that can be customized by terminal. This is
much better than using existing LDAP, TCP and UDP ports as you do not run
the risk of an intruder utilizing these ports to gain entry to other
resources. In my opinion there is no comparison between Netmeeting and VNC.
If anyone does figure out how to route Netmeeting through a single port, I
would be more than interested to know how.
In future releases of VNC I would love to see communication between client
and server be encrypted within the program, rather than using a tunnelling
or third party packet encryption method.
