VNC viewing problem

I'm running 10.5.5 on my 17" MacBook Pro and have VNC enabled (requiring a password). I work in a place full of linux work stations and these guys use VNC all the time. I'm the only Mac guy in the house .
Anyway, I can join in on any of their VNC sessions by bringing up RealVNC's VNCViewer and typing in a specific IP address followed by ":1" and after entering the password I can see their world. The Console says the following when I connect:
11/17/08 3:33:07 PM [0x0-0x42042].com.realvnc.VNCViewer[598] Connected to 10.66.87.15 on port 5901
However, if I do a Connect To Server and enter vnc://10.66.87.15:1 then I immediately get a connection failure dialog box. Similarly, if I ask any of those guys to look at my screen, they type in my IP address (with or without "") into their VNC viewer and they get the password prompt. When they enter the password, my menu bar flashes briefly (nothing reported in the Console) and their application hangs - requiring a force quit. This is usually followed by gratuitous snickering etc...
I'm stumped - any ideas?
Mick.

I just want to make sure I understand. When you say requiring a password, did you use
System Preferences -> Sharing -> Computer Settings
[X] VNC viewers may control screen with password:
You will be using VNC port 5900. Or in their world,
Port 5900 is the standard VNC port. Many VNC servers/viewers use the shorthand , :1, :2, etc... to mean 5900, 5901, 5902, etc...
Your vnc://address.of.Linux.sys:5901 is because a URL is a full address and the : in that address is a generic way to specify a port via a URL, not a special VNC shorthand notation.
If you do not make any progress, you can always install the Vine Server, assign it to port 5901, and let your Linux co-workers use that to view your screen.
Also, you might want to check out JollysFastVNC client and the Chicken of the VNC clients, if for some reason the RealVNC and or the Linux Screen Sharing clients give you problems. Depending on the situation I use different VNC viewers. Some give better remote F8 key control during boot, some a better at low bandwidth performance, some do copy/paste better, etc... Your mileage may vary.

TightVNC (or other windows VNC viewer) connecting to OS LION

Have been using TightVNC viewer on a windows based PC to connect to my iMac without any problems.
Upon upgrading to Lion, I am no longer able to connect to VNC.
When I connect, I get a gray screen with my username, prompting me for a password. I am unable to type or click, etc.
I understand there is a new protocol for connecting to VNC. I have no problems mac-to-mac or even iphone-to-mac , however, I am looking for a solution for pc-to-mac.
Does anyone know how to configure tightVNC to make this work? Can anyone recommend another software that would work?
Thanks for any input
Mike

We are having the same issue with our Lion. With the help of this thread:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1194456
We came up with a workaround:
* Use RealVNC client
- this uses the ZRLE encoding (which is what Lion VNC uses); TightVNC does not use it.
Configure RealVNC client with:
* Misc Tab
Uncheck "Shared connection (do not disconnect other viewers)
Uncheck 'Only use protocol version 3.3
* Default Tab (Load/Save Tab)
Save as default (click Save)
* Now run VNC viewer and enter the password to authenticate.
Caveats:
Screen Sharing seems to work but not remote management
Due to the new multiuser login with Lion, you'll need to log out of OS before disconnecting to VNC. If you don't log out, you can't reconnect in.

Accessing Xserve with Lion Server from Windows 7 PC via VNC Viewer

Hello everyone-
At work we have an Xserve running Lion Server that we are trying to access from a Windows PC runnig Windows 7. We have turned on Screen Sharing on the Xserve and we are using RealVNC's VNC Viewer client to access the Xserve.
Everything works OK except the Control key is not being passed through to the Xserve, so you can't to teh usual copy/paste commands etc.
I have checked on the Web but found nothing to resolve this problem. The settings in the RealVNC client are set to pass through special keys, but it is as if the VNC server on the Xserve isn't seeing them.
Does anyone have any ideas?
-Mike

Connecting to Mac OS X with VNC-viewer, time out

Try using Vine Server
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16699>
The built-in Mac OS X VNC server (aka Screen Sharing) does not play well with strangers.
The one thing that has sometimes helped is to make sure you are not trying to use "Reduced Colors". But failing that, get and install Vine Server (make sure it uses a different port from the build-in VNC server - try 5901).

Vnc viewer external access

using a Linksys E2500. I have a Ubuntu "server" set up which i can access on my LAN through VNC Viewer (windows machines) no problem. I can even access it through the external IP address on a machine inside the LAN (both internal address and external address work from inside the LAN). I set up port forwarding (per portforward.com) but i still can not access my machine from outside the LAN. It has a static IP as well btw. Any help would be appreciated as I am leaving the country for a month and need to be able to access it while I'm gone. Thank-you.

wait. DMZ entirely opens that specific client IP for outside access. this is a bit unsecure. port forwarding should just work if you already know the correct ports and you have a static IP.

Remote Control and Remote View Problem

Hi,
I work at a High School running Netware 6.0 SP5 and Zen works 4.01 ir7.
Remote Control and Remote View works great but I noticed one problem.
We have a logo of the school that is forced down on to the desktop when a
user logs in through group policies. This logo works perfect for the
desktop wall paper and loads every time a user logs in.
When I Remote Control or Remote View a computer the users desktop wall
paper turns from the logo being forced down through group policies to the
desktop to a blue desktop wall paper.
I would prefer the desktop wall paper staying the schools logo when I
Remote Control or Remote View because if the desktop wall paper changes to
the blue color I mentioned above when I Remote Control or Remote View the
users computer, they will know that someone is taking over their computer
which sometimes we dont want them knowing.
We have Windows 98SE computer running Novell Client 3.4 and we have some
computers running Windows XP Professional SP1 and Windows XP Professional
SP2 both running Novell Client 4.91 SP2.
The Remote Control and Remote View problem of the desktop wall paper
changing on the users computer occurs on all operating systems mentioned
above.
Is there a solution to my above problem? When Remote Controlling and
Remote Viewing someone's computer I don't want the desktop wall paper to
change.
Thanks!

As discussed in numerous threads already, the new viewer has not been approved by Apple yet.
If you’re a pro or enterprise customer you can create your own viewer app. If not, you’ll have to wait or roll back to the older tools.

What is a VNC viewer?

Under Sys Pref> Sharing > Computer setting there is an option for VNC viewer, what does it mean.
I am trying to setup the Back to my Mac feature but I want to make sure that I will be the only one able to use it on my Macs. don't want anybody to access my screen....
Any inputs, suggestions or reading material on the subject.
Thanks

Virtual Network Computing. Now you know as much as I do.

Launch Console fails: the vnc viewer is not installed on the manager server and no local vnc viewer is found.

Hello,
I have created and started a VM image and try to configure this image, but when launching the console I get the error:
"the vnc viewer is not installed on the manager server and no local vnc viewer is found."
I've read the vnc console does not rely on a local version of the vnc client, but uses the java vnc. From the java log I get:
Java Web Start 1.6.0_43
Using JRE version 1.6.0_43-b01 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
User home directory = C:\Users\kgraaf
28-jun-2013 10:17:04 com.oracle.ovm.ras.proxy.RasProxyApplet main
INFO: ServiceType : VNC
28-jun-2013 10:17:04 com.oracle.ovm.ras.proxy.external.ViewerLauncherFactory getViewerLauncher
INFO: Os is : windows 7
It is not clear to me yet what is expected to be running where. My configuration is:
- VM Server 3.1 on Linux host A
- VM Manager 3.1 on Linux host B
- Connected via Windows 7 64-bit client via a browser to the Management Server. Let's call this host C
When launching the console it tries to connect to 127.0.0.1:60505 so to localhost and a port#.
- Given this information I would expect it tries to launch the vncviewer from my management server (host B).
- /usr/bin/vncviewer is installed on host B, but this appears not to be used.
- We see java vnc is started on my Windows 7 client (host C) and it tries to connect to 127.0.0.1 (localhost on my Windows client??) and not to the remote management server (host B)!?
Questions:
1 - Can someone explain what exactly is being executed (from where and to which host) when launching the console?
2 - Is this a java version / Windows 7 related configuration issue? How to fix this?
Thanks,
Klaas.

Per Oracle's website - RAN into this a few hours ago...Do it as ROOT on the VM Manager Host
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26996_01/E18548/html/BABFBEIF.html
It is preferred that you install either TightVNC on the Oracle VM Manager host computer. You can get the latest TightVNC package from:
http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS/http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS/
Install TightVNC with the command:
# rpm -ivh tightvnc-java-version.noarch.rpm

Oracle VM 3.0.1 - VNC Console Problem

I have Oracle VM 3.0.1 enviroment running, Oracle VM Manager 3.0 and several servers running Oracle VM Server 3.0.1. Before, I used Oracle VM Manager 2.2.0 and Oracle VM Server 2.2.2 on the same hardware.
Of course, I wanted to use my previous virtual machines on new enviroment. I successfully imported VMs as templates and cloned them as virtual machines through VM Manager. Then, I start the virtual machine, and want to see it's execution through console on Manager's toolbar. But, every time, it's trying to download(or execute) some java file, which, in first, I executed and it's asking me for "Oracle VM Manager Login". I enter credentials correctly, but connection breaks every time. Previously, i installed TightVNC and RealVNC on my local PC(not the Manager machine), but it's the same, console doesn't working even with different browsers.
Is there something that I'm doing wrong, or is there a way to connect to running VM with native VNC viewer like in Oracle VM 2.2.2 where I could see exact port of running VM?
Thanks.

I tryied, but with no success. It's giving me error "Unable to launch the application" window, Name:Oracle VM Remote Access Service, Publisher:Oracle, From:<IP_of_my_VM_manager>:7002. There's a Details button with content:
