In late December I've been reporting problems with instable connections to some VNC-Servers (2 of 10 in one of the networks I'm administrating) on the VNC-ML. The issue was that the connection is being closed immediately after a successful login. I have received some answers from people on the VNC-list, some just telling me that they have the same problem and yet no solution, some guessing that the reason is probably "network related", whatever that might mean.
I installed a SSL-tunnel between the client and the server so that the client connects to 127.0.0.1 on a higher port, which establishes a SSL-tunnel to the server. The server then sees an incoming connection from 127.0.0.1, too. That way I can assure that no "network related issues" can cause the problem I'm reporting, because the complete VNC-protocol that formerly passed "the network" is now being tunneled into SSL and the various network layers assure that every packet is being transmitted properly, even if there were problems with the NIC (like inverting a bit or so (which some people honestly assumed to be a possible reason for my problem!)). The connections from and to 127.0.0.1 do not pass the NIC, so that the nic itself cannot be the cause for the problem. I'm not expecting anyone to say "Ah, now I know the reason: Do this and that!", I'm just reporting that there is a serious problem and that I got mails from people telling me they have the same problem. Nevertheless I'd be happy to get hints what I could try to solve this problem. :-) -- Regards, T. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
