Hi Jay, /* We are also very interested in this technique of having VNC in a site and having it allow a client connect without opening any ports and automatically setting up the connection. That would be a huge time- saver and really simplify working with the REALSQLServer at a client location. /*
I'm happy to set up a demo for you. I'm about 15 hours ahead of Dallas. My skype address is keithjohnxp My Dallas number (skypein) is (972) 535 6145 /* How do you set up the OS X built-in VNC server (our customer) to search for/ping our VNC client? /* You should be able to pass an apple script the the OSX built in VNC server. Or use the shell to start up an instance. Personally I use OSXVnc from www.redstonesoftware.com/vnc.html since I've heard reports of it being faster than the built in one, and it also works with older Mac's Speed Comparison www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060714063404618 Example on how to set up OSXVnc http://wolfpaulus.com/journal/software/remotemac.html including an example shell script. /* I would think that the built in firewall in most routers would block that access. Also, without port forwarding, how would the VNC client on this end know what computer to access on the remote network? */ In my experience most routers do _NOT_ block outgoing connections unless someone has set them up that way, and if there is enough technical expertise on site to block outgoing ports, then there is enough technical expertise to open the ports required. The only port forwarding required is on your site. -- Keith Hutchison http://balance-infosystems.com http://realopen.org _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
