VNC "your connection has been rejected" error

[RANDY CLEVELAND]

Hi,

I had VNC installed on a W2K workstation behind linux firewall, and
everything worked great.

I tried to install the latest version of RealVNC on the system, and all
I would get was "your connection has been rejected"
after logging into the web based java veiwer. When I tried the VNC
Viewer application, VNC Viewer would
quietly stop running after I entered the password.

After searching and searching for a solution to the problem, I decided
to un-install the new version, and re-install
the version that I had working before. Now it will not work as well.

I have checked the ports, the password, turned off the service and
tried running in app mode/vice versa, and
still cannot connect.

HELP!

The Linux firewall has not changed at all during this process. I
should not have to since I used the same
ports on all of the installs of VNC.

Anyone have any ideas? I thought it might be screen resolution, but
that is not it.

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hey All,

Am new to this mailinglist. Was wondering if anyone knows of future plans
for VNC to include an option to transfer the contents of the ENTIRE
clipboard... instead of just some text.
Imagine, being able to drag and drop files from your local machine to the
remote machine...

Kind regards,

Willy Croezen

Didn't get any replies on this question with my last post. Will post it
again and hope
someone can help.

You don't say what your current problem is, so I'll issume you're still getting "your connection has been rejected". That seems to indicate everything is fine and then VNC discovers your connection is not allowed somehow.

I can think of 2 registry keys (server-side) that could cause this, one that will anly allow local loopback (LoopbackOnly) and one that will only allow connections form certain IP adresses (AuthHosts). Perhaps the HTTPConnect key might have this effect as well. If you've changed any of these keys, that will probably be the reason. If not, check if they've been set somehow anyway. There may be others keys to cause this as well, so you might want to look at the full list at http://www.realvnc.com/winvnc.html#4 .

If nothing helps, try the DebugLevel and DebugMode keys to get a log that might indicate what is going on at the server...
