   Great info!

   I tried it and it worked within my network, but when I tried connecting via the internet it did not work. I tried opening a port on my router, but it still not work.

   Does this work internally only?

   This is great but how does an Apple user do the equivalent of “add new client”?

   We use ultraVNC with one-click for Windows users but need something just like it for the Apple.

   Thanks.

   Apple\\\’s VNC implementation is very unstable and crashes frequently in Panther and Tiger so it\\\’s still better to use Vine for VNC. It might be better in Leotard, but I doubt it.

   I fail to see the cause of any conflicts. Change the port in Vine. and/or turn off ARD. I have Vine running on half a dozen macs in various locations on and off-site.

   Ho provato come dici ma se dal pc usando vnc viewer (ultima rel 4.4.2) mi dice che
   \\\\\\\”il server is not-standard and may fail to work\\\\\\\” …. or use protocol 3.3 option.

   Comunque vado avanti dando okay…inserisco la password per un attima appare \\\\\\\”penso\\\\\\\” lo schermo del mac e poi sparisce tutto….

   Grazie

    {{I can connect through the internet, but as soon as i enter my password, it dissapears. What is up>?}}

    I have the same exact problem. And if I physically go to the Mac and change a setting, I come back to the PC and RealVNC posts a message indicating that I\’ve been disconnected…yet I never saw the remote window open?!?
    Anyone have any ideas as to the cause of this problem?

    The builtin vnc server only accepts connection with FULL colors and is picky about encodings. So try that. It behaves exactly like this if colors or encoding doesn’t match.

    Figured it out. The settings on VNC need to be set to AUTO. If you specify a lower setting for the connection, it will drop as soon as you connect.

    It works but every time my mac reboots I have to restart the service. It shows that it is running but I can’t connect to the mac unless I stop and start the service.
