RealVNC 4 beta
Hi there, I'm new to these lists and hope that someone from RealVNC is looking in this list? I have been using RealVNC 4 beta 3 for a while but I stopped because the option to scale the screen is gone. I'm using this functionality of version 3.3.7 a lot because I'm managing all kinds of different servers with different kind of screen resolutions. Another function that I'm missing is the ability to save a connection. I'm using it to save the info of all the several servers to files and put them in my taskbar as a shortcut. Maybe a suggestion for you is to make it possible to link the file extension VNC to the viewer so just by double clicking a VNC configuration file will result in connecting to the machine. Will these functionalities be comming back in the official release of RealVNC 4?

Win98SE and 4b4
After about 6 hours of running it will close my connection unexpectedly and do so for every attempt after that. The only cure seems to be to go to the PC, stop the service and restart it. I have also tried the service in user mode but it does the same. I can connect multiple times before it decides enough is enough and then its reset service time. -- Great Marlow School - http://www.gms.bucks.sch.uk Operator EMail - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: James Weatherall [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Operator \(Andy Thomson\)' [EMAIL PROTECTED], vnc- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2003 17:32:00 - Subject: RE: Win98SE and beta4 Andy, Does the server let you in if you try to connect a second time, or does it repeatedly close the connection in this manner?

Linksys router after Firmware upgrade
I know, I know. But don't worry I don't think this has been asked or solved yet. Configuration behind the router: Linksys BEFSR11 Cable/DSL Router 5 PC's running Windows 2000 Pro 1 PC running Windows NT 4.0 Server RealVNC ver. 3.3.7 Verizon DSL No-IP Dynamic IP No tunneling being used All systems have latest versions of everything, and everything else is working fine. My question: After upgrading the firmware on the router to 1.45.7 (Jul 31, 2003) I've lost the capability to connect to the above mentioned PC's via the VNCViewer or the Java Web based style. My ports are being forwarded to the respective systems. eg. TCP Port 5902-5902 forwarded to 192.168.1.2, and the display number on that workstation is 2. Same thing goes for port 5802. MTU setting is @1492. The PassThrough settings on the router are all enabled I'm able to ping the WAN ip address successfully. If I use the Web Based version, and enter the address of http://host.bounceme.net:5802 the grey login screen appears, I enter the correct password, and click OK, and nothing happens. (and yes i've substituted the no-ip host name with the actual WAN IP address and received the same results) If I use the VNCViewer and enter host.bounceme.net:5902 or [ip address]:5902 VNC doesn't return an error stating connection has failed, but it also doesn't display a password box. If I enter the wrong port number it spits Connection Failed error back at me. So I'm leaning more towards VNCViewer sees the server, but the server isn't responding, or something's blocking it from responding. In house (physically in the room with the PC's and router) the PC's can connect to each other with no problem. eg. 192.168.1.2:5902 works fine from any of the other PC's. (Web or Viewer style) I'm able to connect to other customer's which have different firewalls all configured by me, and all with the same type of setup. The problem only resides with this particular router with this version of firmware. I understand one solution is to downgrade the firmware, which I could do since I'm in no need of any of the fixes or new features, but I'd like to keep it, and get it working if possible. Any ideas, suggestions, comments, hints, etc are GREATLY appreciated. (p.s. this is my first post to a mailing list, i hope i followed proper procedures and etiquette :) ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
RE: CPU Usage
Does anyone know why the VNC server uses 15-18% of the CPU cycles on a few machines, but 75-85% on most of the others? I cannot find any difference in the settings. Does it depend on the video card?

RE: RealVNC 4 beta
Another function that I'm missing is the ability to save a connection. I'm using it to save the info of all the several servers to files and put them in my taskbar as a shortcut.

I'm using Windows XP Professional SP1 with ZoneAlarm and the 4.0 beta 4 viewer-only package, and I'm trying to connect to a Win2K SP4 server running 4.0 beta 3. When I try to connect I get the attempting to connect box displayed, and VNC gets no further.

Re: RealVNC 4 beta
3.3.7 has that feature. During a connection, click in the upper left hand corner to get your menu. Save the connection there. After you save your first connection Windows will be associated with the .vnc files. I have like 400 of them. I was even able to add an action so when I right-click on the .vnc file I can connect in View Only. Pretty sweet.

Mcafee Firwall Issue
This is my first post so hopefully this worked Im having problems with Mcafee Firewall. My PC sit behind a lynksys router, I can connect to multiple machines behind the router. On one PC, I have installed Mcafee Firewall. VNC is installed as a service. I can not connect to the machine until I stop and restart the vnc service. Firewall lists the VNC service sometimes. When I restart the service, it show VNC and the listening ears in the active program section. I can connect and all is fine. When I reboot the machine, I can not connect until I stop and restart the service again. It's like VNC is not registering with Mcaffe firewall, or Mcafee firewall is not detecting the VNC service. Ive tried allowing all connections types, and no filter on the VNC program with no luck. The only time VNC shows up as active in MCFW is when I stop and restart the service. Any ideas?

I get the following error when trying to launch Xvnc: nwkste% /export/home/briouser/bin/Xvnc :3 -pn _XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for local 16/12/03 11:42:34 Xvnc version 3.3.3r1 16/12/03 11:42:34 Copyright (C) ATT Laboratories Cambridge. 16/12/03 11:42:34 All Rights Reserved. 16/12/03 11:42:34 See http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc for information on VNC Thanks in advance, Aarti ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
RE: Mcafee Firwall Issue
Tim, It's possible that this is a timing issue. If VNC starts before the firewall then the firewall may not correctly pick up the service's incoming connection socket and may therefore lose connections. It may be worth asking McAfee about this - if it affects VNC then it will probably affect many other network services. What does the VNC tray icon say when you have rebooted and can't reconnect? Cheers, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. When I reboot the machine, I can not connect until I stop and restart the service again. It's like VNC is not registering with Mcaffe firewall, or Mcafee firewall is not detecting the VNC service. Ive tried allowing all connections types, and no filter on the VNC program with no luck. The only time VNC shows up as active in MCFW is when I stop and restart the service. ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
RE: [Double-Click]
Larry, What sorts of thing are you clicking on when the problem occurs? Are you clicking on things like Explorer shell icons? I found that if I triple-click, the double-click occurs. What may be happening is that the first click causes a screen update which causes a delay sufficient to prevent the double-click being detected, and that the second and third clicks then get through correctly and are processed as a double-click. If that is the case then single-clicking on an icon before you actually double-click it should work. If that works, we have a potential route to solving the problem. :) Cheers, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
New to VNC and need help...
Hi all, Of course I need help, why would I be writing otherwise, huh? Let me explain my situation: I've been away from networking for some time now- last server I worked on was a WinNT and now, I've been sortof thrown into a project with Server 2003. I'm using Server 2003 with 2 locations- across town from each other. Both locations have a DSL connection and a static IP address at each. Both are using little 5 port D-Link routers (They are I-601 models, I believe). I also have VNC set up at my home and am using this to test the other two connections. With the two stores, I can VNC out, but not in. At my home, I can VNC either in or out... So, I can see other desktops, but others can not VNC into the machine at either store that's set up for the connection. I keep getting a Server can not be found error message. Now, to me, the problem seems to be centered around a firewall issue with Server 2003 (Forgot to mention that we took the router out and went directly from the Westell modem to the server... Same thing is happening, so I am assuming that it's a server issue). So, my question to all of you nice, smart people out in VNC land is this: on Server 2003, what am I overlooking in the firewall that could hinder an IP connection for the VNC from the outside world? Thank you one and all for your feedback. Cordially, Mark Lent ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
RE: Problems with VNC and USB mouse
I exactly know what you're talking about, I'm having the same problems and no solution yet. VNC is configured correctly, and there is neither the Alt nor the Ctrl key locked. Mouse clicks only work within the taskbar, every other window loses the focus if you click on it and basically no mouse click works. I experienced that sometimes a right click immediately followed by a left click temporarily solves the problem, but that's not a work-around. The problem occurred after I installed a new USB wireless mouse, but since I'm 5000 miles away from that pc now, I can't verify that it's the mouse by reinstalling the old one/another one. I'm also having the same problem with UltraVNC.

RE: [Double-Click]
James, No, it doesn't matter if the item already has the focus or not. Also, it can be a desktop icon, or it can be anything else that requires a double-click. There seams to be one exception: If I open the mouse settings from the Control Panel, I can perform the double-click timing test successfully (no 3rd click required); however, anything else that needs a double-click requires a 3rd click to work.

connection
Hi, I've installed a VNC server on my Linux machine and a VNC viewer on my windows machine. I usually work in my office (upstairs) and the linux machine is in the same building of the campus (downstairs). So I establish an on-campus connection and it works well. If I'm off campus, at home for example, it doesn't connect to my linux machine (I use also ssh tunnels) and everytime I enter the IPaddress:port, it gives me the message 'Failed to connect to the server'. I've tried to solve this problem for a while, also asking help to my network administrator, but I didn't manage. Is there anyone who can help me to fix this? I would really appreciate. Ps:putty works from home Ping ipaddress works Thanks in advance Katia ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
