Linksys Router
I have the Linkys 4 port router (model BEFSR41). Before the ARD fix for Jaguar, everything worked fine. After Jaguar and ARD updates, I can still connect from my machine behind the router out to another computer, but I cannot connect from an outside machine into mine. I have the proper ports mapped. When I try to connect to my machine, ARD tells me that it cannot control a machine running in (it may be under) 256 color mode. Everyone that I know personally that has the BEFSR41 is having the same issue.

You'd also get that error if the system you are trying to control is asleep. have you verified that that isn't the issue?
Linksys Router - fixed
Well, my machine itself was never asleep (as my G4 going to sleep turns off the ethernet port), but I do allow the displays and drives to sleep. I tried connecting to my machine with ARD, but clicked the wake up button before controlling it, and it worked. So, having the display asleep causes the same message.

An apple field technician suggested this solution to me when faced with the same problem on my campus (not being able to view a machine because its displaying less than 256 colors - but you know that's not true)... be sure to 'wake up' the machine using ARD before trying to view or control it. Works every time. :) |
