Hello, Scott? -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Ivory [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 12 February 2004 5:16 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Remote access through firewall
Scott, The FAQ "How can I get a VNC Viewer to connect through a firewall I don't control" is almost an exact fit for my situation, except that rather than having a Linux server at home I've just got a Windows ME computer connected via a modem straight to the internet. (Basically my wife uses it during the day whilst I'm at work but she's not particularly computer-literate and sometimes calls me when she gets confused about something - it would be a big help if I could just VNC in from work to sort it out). The FAQ says "The above example presumes that the VNC Server is running on Linux, but it of course works perfectly well if you're running on Windows too", however I'm having trouble making that leap. The references in Benjamin Weiss' article to "localhost" and "log into your machine with Putty" and "/etc/sysconfig/vncservers set up with a static port :4" seem geared specifically to a Linux environment and I can't figure out what the translation to a standalone Windows ME machine would be for those parts. I'm trying to get this working with RealVNC. A reply here on the list and/or an expansion on the FAQ would be most welcome.
