: Mike Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Let's say I'm running the server on Solaris and I usually connect from : a viewer running under Windows. I sometimes I connect via ethernet : from the same subnet and it's super fast (10 Mbps), sometimes from DSL : at home (384 kbps, say) and sometimes from a 28.8 kbps modem. Can I : launch a single tightVNC session and connect to it in different ways : from different places? That is, can the viewer tell the server how to : encode the data for transmission?
Yes. You can tell the viewer to accept only faster encodings, to ignore the local cursor updating capability, and so forth. If necessary, you can even use a standard viewer, in which case the tightVNC server will use only standard encodings. : Or do I have to accept whatever I told the server to do when I first : started the session? For both tightVNC and VNCclassic, the server negotiates with each viewer how encoding is done; even VNCclassic sometimes had to have the viewer's choice of encodings overridden for performance reasons (ie, force use of hextile and copyrect instead of raw). And again, this is done at connection time, not when the server is started.
