Personal VNC question

2009-09-07 Thread Patrick Immel
Hello All, First time poster here. I am considering making the move to VNC personal. I am mainly needing to access my work printer(s) from my laptop when I am at home or on the road. I would also like access to my home computer from my laptop as well. How would I purchase licenses for this?

I use a mix of personal and free licenses. The Personal edition viewer is freely downloadable and can access both types of server. You'd need a license for each machine on which you'll be running the Personal Edition server. Bear in mind that you'll need to negotiate a port-forwarding

Hi Patrick, The VNC Personal Enterprise Edition products are licensed per-desktop, so you need one license for each desktop you will remotely access using them. For more details, you can submit a purchase enquiry via http://www.realvnc.com. Select Buy Now and get a quote for the number of

Hi DRC, [snip] I haven't seen TRLE and can't seem to find any information on that protocol. Is it available in a current release of RealVNC? [snip] Hmmm. It's in the IETF Draft, but doesn't seem to have made it into the current RFB 3.8 protocol spec document. One of the problems I ran

I'm just reporting what I observed. I don't really know the underlying reasons behind it, either. I see the same effect with the Tight protocol. I can't get peak performance out of that protocol with tile sizes less than 64 kpixels. On Sep 7, 2009, at 8:23 AM, James Weatherall

Hi DRC, It makes sense for tile size to affect performance in a *bandwidth* dependent way, but not for it to affect latency sensitivity. That said, I gather you're working on a project based on the old VNC 3.3.x codebase, so it may well be that there's some I/O scheduling issue in that. HTH,

Brian, It seems you have quite a good arrangement, and a great view from the office ;) as for the printing and VPN issue, I am not sure what you do need is in fact a terminal session provided by VNC or RDP. Network access (including access to the printers) is not the solution for your needs?

I'm not the one who was asking about printing to a printer on the server. I was just giving an example of the variety of uses that remote computing is making possible. We do, in fact, have our printers mapped across the VPN and we can print to the remote ones as if they were local on our
