ScreenRecycler - Extra desktop space from another Mac
Authored by: hamarkus on Jul 15, '08 01:20:09AM

Well, TightVNC (installed on a PC) is unable to connect to my Mac (where Screenrecyler is running). I've tried changing the ports from the default 6900 to 7900, no change. The Mac can initiate a RDC session on the PC, so I know they can connect to each other. On the Mac, ScreenRecyler is listed in the Firewall as exempted application.

There might still be a firewall on the PC preventing the connection, but I have no idea how to check this. Or there are some settings in TightVNC that I would have to change for this.

Switching the port in Screenrecycler to 5900 made it work (I had tried to set the port in TightVNC to 6900 but apparently that did not stick).
