Dear Alex, sorry for the question (my world is the mac side), but "telnet to port 5900" gives me some headache... Is there a tool for telnet (is it similar to "ping"?) and does it matter if I am logged in as admin or as user? Thanks for your help and best regards Claus
It sounds like the VNC service may have crashed or hung. Assuming you are running the server on the default port, you can try a telnet to port 5900 just to see if it echoes back the RFB protocol number. If it times out, you can't access the server; if it refuses connection, the service is no longer running. If it does echo back a string such as RFB 003.003, then the problem is most likely in the VNCViewer client software. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rothweiler, Claus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, 2002-03-22 08:54 Subject: VNC on NT4-Server with Mac client : Dear VNC list, : : as a new vnc-user I have the following problem: : I want to use a NT4-Server without monitor and keyboard as Mac Fileserver.

This may be because the server is not running, or because the adress of : the server was incorrect.", after a long period of waiting, when I try to : connect from the Mac's viewer. The IP adres is correct, VNCserver is running : an even a volume of the NT machine is mounted on the Mac's desktop, so there : should be no physical problem in the network. The Mac runs with OS 9.1. What : could be wrong? Any advice? : : Best regards : : Claus Rothweiler : --------------------------------------------------------------------- : To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: : 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY : See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html : --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
