[MacPC]

Hi,

I have two Macs and two PCs. My mac are both using OSX Tiger and one PC is running Win2K and WinXP. The two PCs are networked with VNC, how can I network to Macs with the PCs using VNC?

I've been using the following VNC server:
http://www.redstonesoftware.com/vnc.html

and this client:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/

Both have worked wonderfully for me.

Hi Chef,

Thanks for the reply.

I installed both Redstone's VNC server and Chicken of the VNC, from my MAC, I can get on my PC no problem but on the PC end, I use RealVNC viewer to try to get on the MAC without success,
It gives me a message saying No matching security type. How can I set the viewer/server to matching the security type?

In order to view the Mac from the PC do this on Mac:

• go to System Preferences > Sharing
• select Apple Remote Desktop
• select 'VNC viewers may control screen with password' and enter a password

That's it.

ARD uses port 5900 and supports one VNC connection. Other clients start at 5901 for their first connection, 5902 for their second, etc.

VNC is a platform agnostic protocol, one just needs to know what ports it is listening on, and the password expected by the VNC server (if one is set).
