Hi folks: I'm trying to set firewall/port settings in Windows 2003 Group Policy for a local domain group of workstations, and I'm stumped.
I've set program exceptions for VNC4.exe and vncviewer.exe and opened TCP ports 5500, 5800 and 5900 to the localsubnet. I can ping all the workstations by name and by ip address. I can telnet to all the workstations by typing telnet workstationname 5900. I can connect over VNC if I go to the workstation (vnc server) and manually add the client by right-clicking the VNC tray icon and clicking on 'Add Client'. I can connect with VNC viewer if I type in the ip address or the FQDN of the server in the VNC viewer. But when I attempt to connect from a VNC client by typing only the server name, I get 'Unable to connect to host: Connection timed out (10060) and in the event viewer I get: Event Type: Information Event Source: WinVNC4 Event Category: None Event ID: 1 Date: 8/10/2006 Time: 11:55:36 AM User: N/A Computer: DZ7XK Description: Connections: closed: 10.11.12.3::3444 (reading version failed: not an RFB client?) Admittedly this is a small quibble, but I never had to type in the ip address or FQDN before, just the VNC server's name. I'm stumped -- anybody know where I've gone wrong (Other than my public school upbringing)? TIA, Randy Benson W. R.
