RealVnc client 4.1.2 on windows XP SP2 connecting to a Solaris Xvnc server as follows:
X11vnc server-> firewall ->switch-> router->switch->switch->remote client If the VNC server is reset, the connection remains half-open, and the remote client will show a frozen screen indefinately (up to a couple of days) until the mouse is moved or a key is pressed, then the VNC window dies and a popup appears "connection reset by peer, do you wish to reconnect". Also, if any of the intermediate connections are interrupted, the client doesn't timeout the connection. If the connection resumes again within about 5 mins, then the client starts responding again. If the connection doesn't resume, the remote client will show a frozen screen indefinately (as far as I can tell). Using netstat I can see that the connection remains "established". If the mouse is moved, the VNC window dies and the reconnection popup appears. (I guess the server socket died, and the mouse update was responded with a connection RST). I want the VNC window to be killed and/or the "reconnection" popup to appear after a short timeout if no data is received from the server in all cases. I have tried configuring TCPIP keepalives on the XP client, but this had no effect, and no keepalives were observed using Ethereal. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks.
