I've been using RealVNC successfully for some time. I now want to help a
friend and find I can get a reliable connection using Remote Desktop but not
using RealVNC. The connection starts up ok, but is either very slow, or
hangs, eventually disconnecting. Any thoughts?
Phil, London
I support several friends using RealVNC (free edition). In one situation, I
can connect successfully using Remote Desktop, but if I try to use RealVNC
the connections stalls, and often drops. Any thoughts?
(Second post - no replies to the first one!)

does work, albeit fairly slowly.

preferred machine, translating the port to 5900, the standard one for VNC.
If your router can't do that, then you can configure VNC to respond on a
different port, and route that port to the particular machine.
Hope that helps.

One of the most useful features of VNC is the facility to set up a reverse
connection, initiated from the server to a listening client. Providing the
router at the client end can be configured to pass through port 5500, there
is no need to mess with firewalls and routers at the server end. As
to the
router on port 8903 or port 8904 and the router will send the connection to
10.0.0.3 or 10.0.0.4 respectively, while translating the port on the LAN side
to 5900.

to be configured. At the other end NAT would take care of
things without intervention. Which is why listening clients are so useful,
and in some situations a huge advantage over Remote Desktop, which can't do
this.

Hi,
How can I
I've used RealVNC in mixed environments recently. It seems you only need to
pay for the software if it contains a server - the viewers can be downloaded
separately and run without charge. So, you can download whichever viewer is
appropriate for the platform (and run it on 7), and it should

will be hard to get. I must say if a VNC client could get access to medical

Yes it can be blocked. Any decent firewall can block an outgoing port as
well as an incoming one, and a properly secured system will have blocked
anything not positively known to be needed.
