You do better using SSH and closing the 59xx ports on the filewall... This will give you: 1) encryption / security 2) Theoretically, give you better responce (through ssh compression, although compression of compressed streams is debatable) 3) Allow RDP and other things through the firewall also ;) Jerry _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
