ARD/VNC connection logging? Port 5900 attempts not getting logged

I have a 10.7.5 machine on my home network with the built-in screen sharing turned on. I connect to it from work with the standard Screen Sharing app, so it's a basic VNC connection using the default Apple client/server software on the default port 5900.
These connections show up in /var/log/secure.log like this:
Jan 15 10:16:41 MyServer screensharingd[7630]: Authentication: SUCCEEDED
Jan 15 10:21:35 MyServer screensharingd[7630]: Authentication: FAILED
But when I look at my traffic logs (using PRTG Network Monitor), I see frequent port 5900 connections to that machine that don't correspond with any secure.log entry.
Where might those connection attempts be logged? Is there something other than screensharingd that might be handling port 5900 traffic?
Thanks,
Ian

Got the answer on another tech board. It's just a port scan, not a connection attempt.

    I have a VNC app on my iPhone and I enter the ip address but when I try to connectt it says it cannot connect to port 5900. Please help.

    Have you opened the ports on the linksys router for VNC...?
    Try this link and open the required ports on the router using port forwarding.Also,check this link to use VNC on your iphone.

  • Could not establish TLS connection on port 7001 - "unable to get local issuer certificate"

    Getting above error on Expressway-C server while establishing TLS connection with Expressway-E in DMZ. I have enabled static NAT on Expressway-E and give the Public IP on peer address of Expressway-C. At that time, i was getting DNS resolution error  on Expressway-C so we added a host record on local DNS for Public IP. Later, I created CSR from both Expressway C & E server and ask local microsoft team to issue Local CA certificates. After uploading, i was getting above error (Failed to establish TLS). Also i have uploaded company (wilcard) Public certificates (issued from Geotrust) and we are getting the samer error and Expressway server could not establish TLS connection on port 7001. Firewall connections are done and i double checked it. 
    Expressway ver 8.2

    Yes, Exp-C > Peer Address (FQDN of Exp-E)
    Certificate of Exp-E -> When generating CSR from Exp-E, automatically FQDN (Exp-E(hostname).domainname.com) will be shown. Then this CSR will be send to local CA or Public CA to generate a certificate. OR you meant to say in Exp-E CSR we need to add FQDN of Exp-C server also in alternative name and vice versa too.
    Yes, root certificates & intermediate certificates are uploaded to trusted CA.

  • HP LaserJet P1505n, connected by Ethernet cable, does not get IP address so I can't get to web admin

    Hello and thanks in advance,
    I've read as many threads as possible and done everything I could to get my HP P1505n working again but can't and need some new advice.
    I've had this printer for a couple of years and it worked well and always connected. I had it plugged into a router (at one point linksys, then a dlink) and had given it a static ip address that it always printed to. 
    Recently, I got a Cisco modem/router from my internet service provider, I plugged in the printer's ethernet cable to it, and suddenly I couldn't print to it anymore. I couldn't access it's webadmin console and couldn't change any settings. I went through various troubleshooting steps and ultimately did a hard reset. 
    I left it alone for a week (thankfully I have another printer) but am trying again to get it up and running. Right now it has switched to AutoIP but it doesn't get in IP address. It only shows 169.254.241.24. I even tried to connect directly to it via ethernet and change my computer's ip to 169.254.241.23 with the same subnet mask and it won't connect to it - I can't get to the webadmin to manually assign it an IP like 192.168.0.111
    Right at this moment actually I cannot even get a configuration page to print and the amber light above the green ethernet light flashes on for a second or two and then off for a few seconds and that cycle continues. 
    What can I do to get this working again aside from plugging in a usb cable and forgetting about network printing (the reason I bought it in the first place)?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi gr---8 ,
    Sorry to hear you are still having issues setting up the printer on the wired network.
    We will need to find out if it is the Ethernet port on the printer, or the network causing this issue.
    Do you have Mac filtering on the router?
    Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the printer.
    Restore the printer back to factory settings.
    Print a hardware test page to test the printer's hardware. Make sure the SSID and IP address is cleared from your router's setttings. Printing a Configuration Page in Windows.
    Connect the Ethernet cable directly to the computer.
    Print the configuration page again to see if you get a IP address to test the Ethernet port on the printer.
    What is the IP address?
    Run the add printer wizard to install the printer.
    Test the printer.
    Were you able to see the printer, add the printer and print?
    What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
    Please provide in detail the results.
    Have a nice day!

  • TCP Socket connection in CLOSE_WAIT status and not getting closed

    I am facing an issue with the TCP socket connections not getting closed and they are in CLOSE_WAIT status for ever.
    As a part of batch process in our application, emails are sent with 4 embedded images. These images are downloaded from 3rd party site with IP say "UUU.XXX.YYY.ZZZ"
    The images are embedded to email as follows
    1. An URL object is created with the site url.
    URL urlPhoto = new
    URL("http://UUU.XXX.YYY.ZZZ/email/photos.jpg");
    2.     The image cid is created with the URL object and the image name
    HtmlEmail htmlEmail = new HtmlEmail();
    String cid1 = htmlEmail.embed(urlPhoto,
    "photo.jpg");
    3.     The image cid is added to the email template by replacing the ${cid1} and the email is sent.
    <td valign="top">
                   <img src="cid:${cid1}" width="279" height="274">
              </td>
    When a mail is sent, 4 new TCP connections are opened and are put in CLOSE_WAIT status for ever. For every mail sent 4 new connections are opened. In UNIX there is an upper limit on the number of open file handles (defaults to 1024) at any point of time. The open TCP connection has the underlying socket in CLOSE_WAIT status and is not getting closed at all. When the upper limit (1024) is reached the batch process is throwing the following exception and terminates.

    ���list of 935 connections similarly�
    I tried 2 solutions
    1. Got the HttpURLConnection from the URL object and invoked disconnect method on the same. But it doesn�t work.
    2. Ran the batch process java program with the parameter �Dhttp.keepAlive=false to close the underlying connection but didn�t help.
    I need the underlying sockets to be closed and not put in CLOSE_WAIT status after sending the mail.
    Is it the problem with the embed method of HtmlEmail object not closing the underlying socket connection.
    If anyone has faced this issue before, kindly let me know the possible solutions for the same ASAP.
    Thank you,

    This sounds more like a problem due to connection pooling at middle tier/application server.
    If that has been ruled out, then you might to enable DCD or set expiry time on the server.

  • Users of Windows 7 Computers connected to Domain but can not get Internet Randomly

    After crash of DC, I have replaced the domain controller server 2008 with another machine but with same name. I got trust relationship issue, which I resolved by disjoining and rejoining. After this I am facing below mentioned issue on computers randomly.
    High Privileges users have no issue with internet access. Low privileges users can not access internet on workstations randomly. Users login properly, all group policy settings applied to them. but internet does not work with them using Internet Explorer
    and Google Chrome. All pings work fine. I viewed the proxy settings by command line as proxy settings are disabled for low privileges users. It was correct but still internet was not working. While over Firefox by adding manually proxy(not set
    through group policy), internet works.
    When I tried to login through a new user which has not logged in over affected machine. Internet works. After logging off by new user and logging on old users (already created profiles), internet starts working for them too. I am afraid may this trick does
    not work on other machines.
    Now I want to know, if above mentioned trick does not work what should I do to activate the internet. What is the root cause of this issue.

    Hi,
    Did you mean you set the same proxy, high privileges user could keep connection and low privileges user drop connection randomly? At the same time, Firefox also could keep connection, right?
    Please try to reset Winsock and DNS for a test on problematic computer. Open command prompt with Administrator Previleges, then type the following commands.
    netsh int reset  
    ipconfig /flushdns   
    Besides that, update the network driver for test.

  • Connected to WiFi but can not get the internet

    I'm really hoping that someone can help. I bought my Ipad yesterday but am unable to connect to the internet. I have connected to my WiFi and have full signal strenght but when I go on Safari it tells me that I'm not connected.

I have tried updating my Itunes and Ipad, both are now fully updated. My internet is working fine on any computer that is not apple... Please help, im pulling my hair out here.
    Many thanks

    What do you see if you go to Settings > WiFi and touch the ">" next to your network name?
    If you touch the ">" you will get the details of your network connection. Things like the type of IP address allocation (DHCP, Static, Bootp), assigned IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router address, DNS addresses, etc.
    Please report what you see there.
    Also please identify the make, model and type of router you have.
    Do you know what kind of security you are using on your router? None, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
    When you said, "I have tried changing some of my settings", what did you do?

  • IPhone connects to network but do not get router,DNS address

    I can connect to wireless networks no problem, however DHCP does not work properly at all. I get a an IP address and netmask address but this does not correspond to computers already on the network and I cannot connect to the internet.
    i do not receive any DNS or router address on any network (checked a friends iPhone and they have the same problem).
    Only if I go to static and manually enter a correct ip address, netmask,router and DNS can i actually surf the web!
    I cant see any settings to tweak or change to fix this. anyone else experiencing this or know of a fix?

    Have you been syncing the iPod with iTunes? Then you just connect the iPad and set it up through iTunes and sync any content you want onto it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    In terms of games/apps. If they are not universal (you will see a + symbol next to them) or made for iPad (you would see an HD in the name, usually) then they won't look good on an iPad as those apps will open in a iPod sized window, giving you the option to enlarge.

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
