VNC Sever Configuration (1) • User On Remote End should run “Run WinVNC (App Mode)” to allow others see his desktop • Keep all the settings as default • Set the password (leave the password blank will block incoming connection
VNC Sever Configuration (2) • When VNC server is running, there is a icon in task bar. • When you point your cursor on that icon, IP address will be shown. • IP address or Computer name can be used to identify the remote machine
Firewall Setting • Unblock “VNC server for Win32” if Firewall warning pop-up
VNC viewer (1) • Administrator run “VNCviewer” to view and control remote end machine which is running “WinVNC Server” • Put in IP Address or Computer Name of remote machine • Keep “Options” as default

Remote Window • Right Address or Right Name • Right Password • Remote Desktop Access Showed • Viewer and Server both can control the remote machine
