Good day folks,
I have been testing Real VNC's vncviewer (version 4.1.2) and trying to get
it working in listening mode and finding it unusably slow. I have someone
start WinVNC server at a remote site, start up the VNCviewer locally and
connect to the server's port 5900 and all is well. Fast and useful. Then I
start the viewer locally in listening mode, have the remote site right click
their WinVNC server icon and select "Add new client" and the connection is
unusably slow.
I've tried having the server side behind a firewall with port 5900 forwarded
back and also sitting directly on the interenet. The VNCViewer side is
behind a firewall with port 5500 forwarded back. I have tried it with a
linksys router serving that role, and also an OpenBSD firewall. It takes a
couple of minutes to draw the screen and then remote access is hit and miss
at best and slow when it's a hit (as in click the Windows Start button on
the server side and wait about a minute for the menus to display)
As far as I'm concerned, it's the VNCviewer.exe and WinVNC.exe establishing
a socket and it should be irrelevant how it's done. What am I missing? Is
anyone else running anything similar? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Woody
