Greetings, This is my first post, and my apologies if this issue has been covered somewhere else [I did search, however!]
I am using the Java client option of VNC to allow my MacOS X client to connect to the WinVNC server installed on my Windows 2000 gateway. This arrangement is working well, but with the Win 2000 host having a direct connection to the internet I am worried about security. I would like to use the AuthHosts feature in WinVNC to deny connections to all other IPs besides the Mac, as at the moment the only thing preventing a connection from an internet host is the firewall [and the WinVNC password, of course]. However, I cannot get the AuthHosts setting to work with the Java client. Any attempt to implement AuthHosts results in the Java client terminating with the following exception: java.io.IOException: Your connection has been rejected. I also tried using a setting of -:127.0.0.1 with AuthHosts, thinking this would at least prevent direct connections and force any connections to be via the VNC's built-in HTTP server, but this had the following effect: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused Is there a way to implement AuthHosts with the VNC Java client? _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
