Hi, I was thinking how nice it would be if the digest could be distributed in HTML format, with hyperlinks for navigation. For example, there could be hyperlinks from each entry in the table of contents to each article. After each article could be links for TOC, Previous, and Next articles. Anything sound interesting or possible? I'm sure there is some sort of list server software for this, it seems like a natural. Regards, Bill Gale

Both your client and server are connected to Ethernet so they're assuming 1500 bytes of payload in the frame. But, you're going through some kind of security filter, which may be adding bytes to each packet. If the packets are leaving as 1500 and the security process adds say 60 bytes, then the payload is too large for the frame, so it get's fragmented, doubling the number of packets and putting the overhead of packet reassembly onto the client, and creating a congestive collapse at layer 3 (because tcp will order a retransmit if it doesn't get it's acknowledgement in time). Hence the blank/dead screen. To test for this try sending out pings with 1500 mtu and df set (client to server or vice versa). If it is the problem, try this: The solution was to reduce the MTU of the VNC host. This can be done in the registry permanently with: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\<adapter>\Tcpip\Paramet ers\MTU which should be set to 1400 The NT server can also be forced to discover the MTU of a path by setting: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Enable PMTUBHDetect which is a REG_DWORD value. Setting it to 1 forces the NT server to discover the MTU of the path to the target system (in this case the VNC viewer). If you set the value to 0, it forces the MTU down to 576, and doesn't attempt to discover the MTU at all. The other possibility is if you have any kind of NAT or PAT running and it's aging out the ports too quickly. I don't think this is likely unless the TCP "hello"s are too widely spaced. You'd fix this on the router.

Dezember 2001 06:43 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: Re: Make an VNC-Connection visible Assuming you are using Windows, the white VNC icon that appears on the task bar will change from white to black while someone is connected. Unfortunately I don't know of any way, without modifying the source code to show that someone connected and then disconnected from your screen while you were away from your PC. The only work around might be to enable the option which pops-up a dialog box asking the user on the host machine for permission to allow a guest to connect to their screen. This feature is not included in the standard WinVNC but is available if you are using TightVNC and possibly TridiaVNC.

It doesn't make sense, either. I created the DWORD value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/ORL/WinVNC3/ as well as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/ORL/WinVNC3/Default And it now disconnects any secondary connection attempts. I found the following reference in the "History.txt" file accompanying the Windows source files, which seems to suggest that this value should be read from the top-level key instead of "Default". "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/ORL/WinVNC3/ConnectPriority setting can take one of three values: 0 - new, non-shared incoming connections kick off existing ones. 1 - all incoming connections are treated as shared, regardless of the -shared viewer option. 2 - new, non-shared incoming connections will be refused if a current connection exists." What this doesn't explain is why setting ConnectPriority to 1 within the .Default key successfully allows shared connections. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tracy Millar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday/2002 January 24 10:08 Subject: Re: ConnectPriority - Registry info : Hi there, : : I actually made the changes on my server to reflect what Alex has and still : the same results, the VNC server connection gets dumped when a second : connection is attempted. : : Tracy : : ---------- Original Text ---------- : : From: "Alex Angelopoulos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, on 2002/01/23 1:23 PM: : To: iSMTP@HQNT11@Servers[<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>],Tracy Millar@MIS : SIG@IDRC CRDI : : COMPARISON OF REGISTRY VALUES : : (SUMMARY NOTE: Tracy is having an issue with having a VNC server connection : dumped when someone else connects to the same system. : She has, as can be seen, created the ConnectPriority DWORD with a value of : "2", restarted the server, etc.) : : Just a quick note - I am going to try checking this out on my system, but I : did a quick check on the registry values.

You need to give your clients authorisation to access the Xvnc server (careful with the client/server terminology when using X or Xvnc - the clients are the programs that appear on your Xserver, including the window manager - if that can't start, you get only a grey screen). What uid is your Xvnc running as? It might be running as root, and your Xclients won't be allowed to connect to it. You should be running Xvnc as your own uid. See below: > how can i tell vnc server is running? is there a process id? You can do: ps -aef | grep vnc which should give you something like: $ ps -aef | grep vnc user1 467 1 0 2001 ? 00:14:34 Xvnc :1 -desktop X -httpd /usr/s user2 490 1 0 2001 ? 00:01:27 Xvnc :2 -desktop X -httpd /usr/s user3 30536 1 0 Jan15 ? 00:00:00 Xvnc :3 -desktop X -httpd /usr/s Which should give you the process id's for any Xvnc server sessions, and (first column) the UIDs they're running under. If you must run Xvnc as root for some reason, have a search for 'xauth' in the archives for answers on getting the authorisation for your clients (or do 'man xauth'!). - -- Illtud Daniel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Uwch Ddadansoddwr Systemau Senior Systems Analyst Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru National Library of Wales Yn siarad drosof fy hun, nid LlGC - Speaking personally, not for NLW ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2002 12:08:48 -0500 From: Michael Milette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: DOS VNC Hi there, Check out PCREMOTE by PC Magazine.

Turning up compression too far can cause overhead that slows > things down, for example. The client is run with the exact same command line, requesting maximum compression, minimum fidelty, and minimum color space. Since the client controls the compression, yes, I have made sure nothing is different simply by not changing the command line that invokes the client. Server overhead, as viewed by the performance meter, is low. The screen is small (SVGA) and 256 colors. Client overhead rounds out to zero: I am running a fast dual CPU Sun with 512 Mb and Creator graphics. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2002 13:34:27 -0500 From: "Alex Angelopoulos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: DOS VNC I found a link for it right away, too - this one is still good. http://asciidownload.uni-hd.de/ftp/pub/simtelnet/msdos/pcmag/ - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Milette" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday/2002 January 24 12:08 Subject: Re: DOS VNC : Hi there, : : Check out PCREMOTE by PC Magazine.

In fact, as I recall, there was a thread on this last some months ago about someone have this very same issue (VNC over IPsec tunnel would disconnect, user adjusted MTU values, and it worked just fine). Search the mailing list archives and you should find what I mean.

I'm not working at that knowledge level, so I asked our technical support people... They said we are not using TCP/IP for transport. Instead, we are using "IPSEC" and the data is both encrypted and encapsulated for transport. Thanks for the "shot in the dark". I'm still looking for the light switch...
