John,
No, you don't - the syntax you are specifying to your VNC Viewer
(host::port:display) is not valid. The two valid syntaxes are:
Host:port_or_display (display if 0-99, port otherwise)
and
Host::port (always port)
i.e. you specify *either* a VNC display number *or* a TCP port number. VNC
display numbers 0-99 are just a short-hand for TCP port numbers 5900 to
5999.
I hate to argue with someone who has a realvnc email but my recent
experience is in direct contracdiction of what you have written:
1). I started my vncserver with options
vncserver :19 -geometry 1440x1062 -name xxxxx -rfbport 4918
(I can explain why but not relevant)
Here is the Xvnc process:
Xvnc :19 -desktop xxxxxx ... -geometry 1440x1062 ... -rfbwait 120000
-rfbauth yyyy -rfbport 5919 -fp ... -rfbport 4918
NB the two -rfbport options. - the first (I assume) always specified,
and the second from my vncserver option. And to show which one took
precedence:
.... here is netstat output to show which port it actually is listening
on:
netstat -an | egrep -e "4918|5919"
tcp4 0 0 *.4918 *.* LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 <ipaddr>.4918 <other_ipaddr>.34849
ESTABLISHED
2) and now here is the command I used on my workstation to connect :
vncviewer -geometry 1440x1062 -passwd zzzzz <ipaddr>::4918:19 </dev/null &
and that worked.
Does that convince you? If not - try it!
John
