Re: [Kaboodle-user] VNC not working with Direct Connection

[Jeff Cole]

Hi

Further to my previous post.

Actually I tried VNC with direct connection again just after I posted 
this and of course it worked this time. I was however remote controlling 
the initiating computer to the direct connection from the one that had 
been connected to. However trying it from the other direction I 
sometimes get the message 'TightVNC info - Connection closed'.

Any thoughts?

Kind regards

Jeff


PS I must admit I am finding all the permutations a bit confusing.

Hi

I've somehow managed to get Direct Connection working fine now - maybe 
I didn't have the ports forwarded correctly one end.

Now I seem to have uncovered a small problem. I can connect fine and 
remote control my master node pc on the other end if I connect using 
the Kaboodle Proxy - I am using TightVNC as the remote control software.

However if I connect using the Direct Connection method the remote 
control doesn't work - I get an hourglass for a few moments and then 
nothing. I try it again and nothing, no sign of TightVNC viewer firing 
up.

I've tried this a few times and it seems to be consistent.

I also have a hunch that remote control doesn't work if you one party 
makes the connection via Kaboodle proxy and then the other one tries to 
remote control a pc on the first network. Although I guess this would 
be quite an unusual scenario.

One small point - I can't seem to disconnect by right-clicking the 
connected network's name and selecting disconnect. It's never worked 
for me. The only way I seem to be able to disconnect is to close down 
Kaboodle.

Another small point - when I close down Windows XP Professional with 
Kaboodle running Kaboodle doesn't get closed like other programs but 
instead I get a dialog requiring me to 'End Now', which is a shame 
because I cannot then restart the computer remotely - this blocks the 
restart process.

Thanks again for a great free set of programs.

Kind regards

Jeff Cole
