How can I make the VNC server connect to a client, instead of the other way

VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures by using an Internet browser. To download VNC, search it in the Internet (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/index.html).
Occasionally it is more convenient to have the server make the connection
to a client; if the server has a dynamic IP, this may be the only way to do
it. Here's the process.
Let's say we have a machine at address 192.168.1.1, Client1, which wants to
"take over" Server1.
(1) Start VncViewer on Client1 with the "-listen" switch, like:
vncviewer -listen
(2) On Server1, make sure that WinVNC is running as a service if possible;
it needs to be running already for this to work. If not, then she just starts
it the normal way. Make sure it's already started before going to Step 3.
(3) On Server1 you just run Winvnc with the "-connect" option. If Server1 is
typically used only to connect to Client1, you may want to make a shortcut
something like this:
"C:\Program Files\ORL\VNC\Winvnc.exe" -connect 192.168.1.1Your feedback and contributions to this web site
