Hi,
I cannot make my VNCViewer view my client who is trying to connect.
This is on my home LAN, so port forwarding is not an issue.
1) On my host computer I run vncviewer -listen
2) Then I run .EXE on client
3) client gives me a message about waiting for 5 minutes.
4) Host does nothing.
5) If i double click on the green eye and press Connect, it says failed to connect to Server!
Not sure what to do from this point.
Joel

How do I make it connect?
Re: How do I make it connect?
try to open port 5500 to your computer have vncviewer -listen
or
disable firewall on your LAN if available to your broadband router.
some norton firewall even locally can block some traffic if you don't set properly the software.
