As per http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1004&question=di-604%20port%20 forwarding, I config-d a virtual server, pointing port 5900 to the VNC server machine's ip. When I try to connect to the VNC server, I get a "No matching security types" error.
Do I have to give a security key to the viewer, somehow? -Chris -----Original Message----- From: evets dranem [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 7:22 AM To: Chris Helmers Subject: Re: VNC server behind router you need to forward the port[s] to the computer ip inside the router Chris Helmers wrote: >Hi.
