I am having simillar problem. As one person suggested, I have the java viewer working on port 443 (https i think) and I can now get part way there using the java viewer - When I enter http:\\myaddress:443, I get the java applet appearing the in the internet explorer (RealVNC logo appears), then a popup window comes up (with title "VNC Viewer: Connection details") where i specify the 'Server' and 'Encryption'. I hit OK and I get another popup 'java.net.ConnectException: connection refused'....
I searched all the archives for various related key words but I was not able to find a solution :(( So, John, I try port 443, maybe you will get one step forward and them maybe good people on this list will help us both from then on :) More setup details: In the VNC Server Properties, on the connections table (as shown here http://www.realvnc.com/v4/winvnc.html#5) I have both the 'Accept Connections On Port' and 'Server Java Viewer via HTTP on port' set to port 443 Thanks! ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Aldrich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Troy'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [email protected] Subject: RE: VNC & Port 80 (yes gain!)
