[solved] uVNC and Mac OSX

Post by asheenlevrai »

hello,
I need to manage around 20 computers.
Most of them run OSX 10.6 (updated) with screen sharing (VNC) activated.
some of them run XP sp3 (updated) with uVNC server/viewer.
uVNC settings on windows machines are identical.
screen sharing (VNC) settings on OSX machines are identical.

I can connect to any machine from any OSX machine.
I can connect to any windows machine from any windows machine.

I cannot connect to any OSX machine from any windows machine.
I get an error message from uVNC viewer : either "incompatible version" (using mDNS) or "authentification failed" (using IP). In this latter case I get the error message after being prompted to enter the VNC server password. I am positive the password is correct.

Can anyone explain if I set up something wrong?
Thanx a lot in advance for your precious help.

I'm using uVNC 1.0.8.2 on XP (32bits) machines.
Do you think it could be an XP-specific problem?

OK.. Apparently my problems were due to configuration mistakes I made on several OSX machines (If you are interested, ask me for details).

However, one problem remains:

from only 1 OSX machine, when I try to connect (VNC) to a windows machine (running uVNC server) I get a white blank screen after password prompt.

I do not get this problem connecting to windows machine from other OSX machines.
I do not get this problem connecting to OSX machines from this specific OSX machine.

I will keep on looking for what I may have done wrong, but if anyone has a clue I'd be happy to hear about it.

Thanx a lot in advance for your help
