I'm trying to use UltraVNC viewer, on Vista, to remote administer a Mac mini running Snow Leopard. I can use it for about 5-10 mins until it stops communicating with the Mac. A screen image remains, but you can't interact with it - and it doesn't update. Restarting the viewer recovers the connection.
I've tried 1.0.8.0 and 1.0.8.2 - both have the same problem. The viewer also "hangs" when I attempt to paste into a text box on the Mac (which I've seen mentioned by others).
Any idea what I can do to solve this? I don't want to have to go the KVM route.
Update: UltraVNC 1.4.3.6 and UltraVNC SC 1.4.3.6: https://forum.uvnc.com/viewtopic.php?t=37885

Re: VNC viewer drop connection when connecting to Mac mini

Re: VNC viewer drop connection when connecting to Mac mini
Seems like the problem is that the VNC display stops updating. If you connect a monitor to the Mac mini then the mouse gestures are still being processed - which is a little dangerous!
Does that help in diagnosing the issue?
