I've never really been happy with the fact that there is no command line
option to Xvnc to disable vncconnect X extensions.
But VNC connect can only be used if the X server has been opened to the
specific hosts (including the localhost) using xhost.
Run xhost and you should see something similar
Hi,
Is there any problem in using VNC on Microsoft OSs i.e Win95/Win2K/NT/XP.
Any link or info about the same will be useful for me in making the decision
about using the VNC.

Hi,
Was just explaining VNC, and all the different platforms it can be used on, to someone
and they asked if it could be used on Netware,
to which I had to answer 'dunno'. Looking around realvnc.com there doesn't seem to be
a version for netware. Is this correct?

Can this reversal be verified from the M$ side? This site is not M$, so it
could be in 'error'.

Hi, Steve,

I only meant license wise, not functionality wise..
VNC works fine with XP ( though I've not tested 2003 yet ), but if you
interpret the license agreement to the letter, its not legal..
As a side note, for t house of you with Unix, Desktop works with the
'remote desktop' component of XP..
I think you should try
Vncviewer localhost:54
Or
Vncviewer localhost:5954

This suggests that you are executing telnet 127.0.0.1 5904 on the PC. But

I run Windows XP Home Edition at home. Does the license for WXP mean in this
case that I can't use VNC or any other remote control software, because
NetMeeting is a bunch of crap, and I really would like to use VNC.
