AmiVNC (server)
« on: November 28, 2007, 02:26:50 PM »
Has anyone ever succeeded in getting AmiVNC running? I am trying to run it on my A4000 but no matter which version I use (Planar only or RTG+Planar) I get no output from the app, and I am unable to remote control the Amiga.

Well, a Mac, but using a VNC client.

Is it cconnecting ?

No. The VNC client just sits there. I can ping the Amiga, so I know there is connectivity there.

Have you got the Amiga side set as a listening server ?

Well the AmiVNC server should sit and listen for connections. But the documentation says that the software should output what it is doing to let you know it is listening, but it doesn't output anything.

What happens when you try connecting through vnc from you mac to the amiga ?

The viewer just hangs and eventually times out saying it can't connect. I am assuming the server isn't actually running, since there is no output from it when I run it.

I can VNC to other (non-Amiga) boxes on the same network from the same Mac using the same client, so it's not the Mac or the network. It has to be something to do with the server software on the Amiga.

There are a couple of really good VNC clients for the Amiga, as well as Remote Desktop clients, so it is entirely possible to control a PC from an Amiga. However, I want to do it the other way round :-)

It's ok, it's good to have someone go through the obvious points anyway, since sometimes they are not so obvious when you're frustrated :-) There is only the one version of AmiVNC on Aminet unfortunately.

@Ferry
I don't even get "main : Listening set on port 5900". I literally get no output at all from the app.

@benJamin
I'm using Genesis

@avanham
I will check that, but I don't think it will turn anything up since the app doesn't even seem to be listening for connections.
