Don’t know what game RealVNC is playing by not updating the FREE Edition with this fix but it’s costing them A LOT of loyal users. These users may be free users, but at least they added to the product’s popularity.

We’re stopping all our VNC accounts at the end of November (even our enterprise and personal licenses) as a matter of principal.

vnc will work under windows 7 with just a little tweaking. While loading there is a check mark that says register and configure VNC server for service mode…remove that check mark and finish loading as usual. The you must copy the run vnc viewer into the startup of your program files. I can vnc to other now and other can vnc to me. Tested many times now and runs this way under vista also

Because of Real VNC’s reluctance to update VNC free, we ditched it for Dameware Mini Remote Control. They do user licences rather than a host licence so it’s very cost effective for our business model.

The Ubuntu system is running TightVNC-1.3.9 and I am trying to use the free edition of Real VNC viewer on windows 7 home premium . All the letters are showing up wrong. I have tried TightVNC Viewer with the exact same results. The “a” key is right but all the others seem to be off. It will show a letter but the wrong one.
The “S” key shows up as b and the “D” key shows up as “f”

@Chris

Make sure you’re running similar versions – If you’re running the latest version of VNC Enterprise Edition viewer but the old free edition on Ubuntu, then this will likely be the cause. The keyboard handling was changed significantly in VNC EE 4.5.

What keys/letters are being sent incorrectly, and what versions are you running?

@mikey

What exact version of VNC Viewer are you running? Check the “About” box.

The encryption box shouldn’t be greyed out, as this is before you’ve even attempted a connection..

“Connection Refused” means that you’ve connected to whatever IP/port that you specified, but that VNC Server was not running on it.

Double check that you’ve specified the correct port number?

I can’t get my Windoze 7 VNC Viewer 4 to connect to my RHEL 4.8 box running the vncserver. The Encryption box on start of the client is grayed out. Always get the:

unable to connect to host: Connection refused (10061)

But, my other Windoze XP laptop on the same net connects, to that same RHEL box, with VNC Viewer 4 just fine.
