Anyone running a VNC server on Vista?

I'm running Vista Ultimate on my laptop and my go-to REALvnc isn't compataible (at least the free version isn't).

So I'm running UltraVNC and not having much luck connecting...

Any tips?

Try killing the firewall... or open the ports like recommended above. :ss

Re: Anyone running a VNC server on Vista?

Yea, all the ports/firewall were right but UltimateVNC did not play well with Vista even though it was supposed to, beyond not letting me conenct. Ended up causing a BSOD/restart loop. I had to go into safemode and remove the program manually.

I ended up biting the bullet and downloading the pay verison of RealVNC that works with Vista. I got a 30 day free trial and it is only $30 after that (inside my company's Petty Cash reimbursement window:)).

All is well now - I can take my sleek new Macbook on vacation instead of my big-ass company Dell!
