RE: VNC server stops responding after a few days
Is your static IP address in the range of the router's DHCP addresses? That won't work, because the computer, knowing that it has a static IP, won't request a lease renewal, and after some maximum amount of time, the DHCP server will try to force one. What will happen in this case depends greatly on the software and OS the computer is running, and on the behavior of the router. I'm not a network guy, but I do know that unless your router is more sophisticated than the average small-office router, static IP addresses *MUST* be outside any range of DHCP addresses of your router. FWIW, I've experienced pretty much set-and-forget behaviour from soho / half-decent routers where you can assign a static IP and they'll respect the assignation (or in the cleverer routers, you can fix a static lease). My previous home Speedtouch TG585v7 could happily do this, as can the D-Link at work. (Tomato which I use at home on a WRT54GL these days just ... Works.) Surely if a machine has a fixed static IP, it doesn't even enter into discussion with the network's DHCP server to request a lease? Just the usual broadcast traffic... ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
RE: VNC Configuration Problem
Error is below No matching sevurity Types. Plz tell me best solution. -- Moazzam With no supporting details it's hard to diagnose the problem. I've encountered this problem myself when connecting from a Windows client running RealVNC to a WS2008 machine running TightVNC. Are you connecting across different Oses or are you using a combination of RealVNC and TightVNC / Chicken of the VNC / UltraVNC etc? What are your devices? What are your security settings? ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
Firefox 4 RC and Mirror Driver incompatibility? (Windows XP)
I've just noticed that in order to get window updates when using Firefox 4 RC I have to disable the mirror driver. Otherwise, the window borders show but the contents keep whatever was previously on top. I have a feeling it's a permanent change from Mozilla, I've only observed similar behaviour with apps that engage DirectShow or use DirectX acceleration (e.g., VLC or Media Player Classic when playing back video). Are the VNC team aware? Is there a formal process for submitting bug reports?

RE: Server
4.1, WAN, VNC password, port 1000, I can't actually get the server to start in the first place in service mode! VNC Enterprise Edition or regular? I assume you've already ensured your port forwards / firewall rules are ok? (is this on a colo server or in-office machine - what OS are you running? By default VNC server uses Windows authentication credentials. It might help to listen to the network traffic if possible on the remote end to see if VNC traffic is making it to the box or not. Also, I'd prefer to use a default VNC port on the server itself and just portforward external requests on the custom port (but that's just my way of doing it). Out of curiosity is there any particular reason for changing the listening port? ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
RE: Server
I can't listen, as the remote access in on my phone! Home network, vista Home Premium, no, there is no reason exept easier to enter! How are you connected - are you using your phone's data connection to connect to the Internet? If so, your mobile data package *may* have all non-standard ports blocked (T-Mobile in the UK blocks everything except email and http on their cheapest package) but there could still be another problem. Could you give us a little more information about your network setup on the remote network? ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list

RE: java pages do not show
When I connect to my PC at work and then try to download fixes from IBM on my work computer, their website uses java for the login and download pages, but I cannot see anything on those java web pages via VNC. Any ideas? Unfortunately this sounds like the classic VNC-ports-blocked scenario. You'll have to check with your netadmin to see if the proxy server is passing through traffic on the required ports (5800/5900). As an alternative, you could try configuring port forwarding on your home connection so that it's accessible on an open port (SMTP/POP/HTTP/FTP), or you could use a web-based solution like LogMeIn. ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
RE: ATT as service provider
NOT true. It is not FUD I am setting there with the same connection with two different pieces of equipment. In addition, Apple has stated so much and conversations with ATT also confirmed. The iPhone DOES NOT support a flash player plug in. Therefore flash CANNOT run on the iPhone. While a Mac / PC sitting there side by side with the same connection works fine. Indeed, but I read it as you implying that the lack of Flash functionality on the iPhone would affect the device's ability to connect to the data service. I've never, ever seen a tethered cellular access setup where I have to log in through a Flash portal - as far as the network's concerned, whether it's your handset or your handset bridging the connection to an external device via Bluetooth or sync cable, the network just sees the traffic as coming from the device itself. There should be no additional login steps required as the handset has already done that (and is de facto authenticated as it's a registered device on the network). No Flash support required. (certainly when I use my own device for tethering, I run the generic Windows Mobile Connection Sharing app (which DOESN'T authenticate with anything) on my phone, set it up to share via USB and then hit Connect - it establishes the data connection and I plug my computer in, and the phone appears as a network interface. I'm up and running without any other logins almost immediately. I suspect the iPhone is treated differently by ATT from its other standard handset range; I would still wager that the iPhone data plan doesn't allow for nonstandard ports to be used (i.e., VNC et al) whereas the regular ATT data bolt-on package allows for more unrestricted usage.

RE: ATT as service provider
Ah, well, if one is using a wifi hotspot then that's a different matter entirely I absolutely agree. However as far as I remember the OP never mentioned wifi hotspots, only using the iPhone's data connection, so I understood the question to implicitly involve using the device for its tethered 3G connection. Chris _ From: Dale Eshelman [mailto:eshelm...@gmail.com] Sent: 10 January 2010 19:00 To: Christopher Woods (CustomMade) Cc: 'Nancy'; vnc-list@realvnc.com Subject: Re: ATT as service provider It is correct that flash CAN effect the ability of one to connect to the data service on the iPhone. Here is how. When you use the iPhone to log in to a WIFI connection and the login uses flash the login cannot be completed on the iPhone. The selection list to select your ISP to continue log in using the iPhone screens in the Safari browser is written in flash at many WIFI connection login screens. There is no way past this on an iPhone. It is the Wayport WIFI connections (US) which have been the primary culprits. The whole portal is NOT flash. Only the list of ISPs in the drop down menu. Since the iPhone does not support flash, the list does not appear on the iPhone screen to select. It cannot be typed in; only selected from a list (ex. @sbcglobal.net or @ATT.net). So if you have VNC app on your iPhone, you will need to login at a WIFI spot which does not require flash to login. If you are using tethering, that is a different scenario. That means using the iPhone as a modem (so to speak) instead of using the iPhone directly. Tethering through ATT on the iPhone has been a rough road. ATT did not allow it to happen for a long time through the iPhone. I have not tried it recently but I believe it is now functional.
