I am no programmer, but having two products try to connect to each other is not really attempting to solve any problems other than criss-cross the intended connections either VNC is trying to make. Using two VNC clients may 'work the same way' in terms of what they do, but they are fundamentally different. I tried Ultra on 7 and Real on XP and I get the same thing as with Ultra on both. I can connect to the XP machine from Win7 but not vice versa (I get the same error: Server closed connection). I also tried using UltraVNC on WinXP and RealVNC on Win7, which works exactly the same way as RealVNC. Then it tells me that VNC Viewer has stopped working. Connecting to XP from 7 works.for about 5 seconds.
Installed vnc connect windows 7 no dialog password#
I get an error saying the server doesn't have a valid password enabled. It's one or the other at this point: VNC is not configured properly, or there is a service on EITHER machine that is causing a problem. The test also provided us with something valuable: the computers can see each other. What's the point of VNC not working when the most basic ping commands don't? That's why we test. This is because we need to make sure there's an open connection. To answer some of your questions: I can ping the Win7 machine but VNC still won't work (I'm a little confused as to how this determines if VNC is set up properly). Also regarding the use of IP address to connect, you mean on the popup where it asks what server to connect to? It doesn't matter if I use the computer name or the IP I still get the same results. I installed it on both Win7 and WinXP and it just doesn't want to cooperate. We just need to be able to view another workstation on our network and control it if necessary. We don't need file syncing and all that other stuff.
Live Mesh sounds like way more than what I'm looking for. I was doing a little digging on the two other tools you guys referenced. Can you provide some screen shots of the settings you are using for the VNC Server and the VNC Client? Edit: doing some research, take a look at the following link: Also try not using the Set Password feature, see if that works. I would give Bubba's solution a shot for Installing in compatibility mode. However, I understand why you would not use Remote Desktop based on your response. Systems Management Server is a good way to manage systems and services along your network while providing valuable tools.You are not using any extra overhead, managing a secondary service.Using Systems Management Server is one I've suggested may provide you with a better solution than VNC. When the person disconnects, the user can log back in. It just simply locks the session and allows the user connecting to view the desktop. Remote Desktop disconnects any users that may be logged in (Unless it just isn't configured right, I don't know I haven't looked at settings).
