Hi, when connecting to my PC over RealVNC via a modem (USB-stick from the provider Orange in Austria) I experience many interruptions. I have to reconnect almost every few minutes. This is the intrinsic to RealVNC because I do not get any interruptions when downloading large files from the

Hi list, Searched elsewhere but couldn't find any relevant discussions. I may have stumbled upon a bug... I've noticed that I can consistently reproduce a scenario whereby MASSIVE lag is induced in the remote device as soon as the mouse cursor is moved rapidly or any window is dragged / any

I'm using RealVNC Enterpise Edition E4.5.1 (r27892) to connect to my home computer from work and even though I'm not using any scaling and both machines are set to the same resolution, I get a lower resolution on the home computer. The resolution is lower and thus there's a huge black border

Hi Christopher, thanks for the hints. I have indeed also tried SSH tunnelling with even worse results (connection drops every several seconds). The interesting point is that FTPing works without drops (I downloaded a file from the same PC over 40 minutes). This made me think that it must

Modern VNC Viewers have an option to rate-limit pointer events, which is really aimed at avoiding hosing very slow networks. However, the underlying PointerEventInterval can be set via the Expert tab (or in the registry), to ten or twenty milliseconds, to provide the level of

Dieter: My guess for the reason that those FTP clients don't drop the connection is that they automagically restore it when dropped. If U try an FTP transfer using the command-line FTP client in Windows, does the connection stay 'on,' or does it drop? That FTP client is as simple as it
