vncviewer --listen according to "vncviewer --help" :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Marc Chamberlin Sent: Saturday, November 26, 2005 3:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Using VNC on Linux
Hi - Newcomer here and apologizes in advance if this has been asked before... Tried a search of the archives but perhaps I wasnt using good keywords.... I want to be able to help my Dad remotely using VNC but we have a difficulty that I am not sure how to solve... His computer is located on a cable modem and uses a DHCP server to assign him a dynamic IP address. I have a static IP address. We use to solve this problem under Windows by my setting up a listening VNC viewer and then he could connect to it using my static IP address, reversing the normal connection process. I am trying to figure out how to do this under Linux now. Can someone provide me with a cookbook approach, simple instructions? Searching the archives and documentation I believe I do a vncviewer -listen :1 on my system ( or something similar) and my Dad would do a vncconnect myIPaddress:1 ???? Is that correct? If so, the rpm package for the free version of RealVNC did not supply an executable for vncconnect... It vncconnect part of the Enterprise version of RealVNC? (I didnt see a personal version of RealVNC for Linux, is there one?) I am more that willing to purchase the Enterprise version if I must in order to get this to work.... Thanks in advance....
