Updates only on mouse movement

2003-09-16 Thread Bill Nassauer
Greetings all, I am trying to deploy a VNC server/viewer combination at one of my company's client sites, and we are having some persistent problems. This is on a RedHat 7.3 server, accessed via a Windows XP Pro PC. We've tried several versions and distros of VNC, including the 3.3.3r3 version

VNC and Netgear Router

2003-09-16 Thread andrew-vnc-list-digest
I'm sitting behind a Netgear router (the FVS318 Cable/DSL ProSafe VPN Firewall). I've been having trouble configuring the router to allow access to VNC. Does anyone have experience configuring a Netgear router (or this router in particular) to work with VNC? I tried using the same settings I did

Hello, I'm a bit confused. I currently use VNC (the Tight flavour) through an SSH tunnel, so I'm not really concerned, but I thought (from other discussions found in the archives) that VNC was *quite* secure as info/updates was/were sent over the network as images (increasingly compressed, using

Hi Andrew, I've configured two NetGear FVS318 routers for use with VNC. I'm not using VPN. I added two services for each computer I want to be able to VNC -- one for the web interface (5800 + display #) and one for normal access (5900 + display #). Both are type TCP. Then I enabled the
