I already recommended that above...

"reply to Siryak
If your grandpa has Windows XP Professional installed, why not use the native Remote Desktop Terminal Services?"

If your running dhcp you might want to use a range like 192.168.100.1-192.160.100.X(or whatever the range used on your lan is) if the ip addresses of your lan computers change, otherwise static can be set to one address.

The controlling computer is very similar, however switch the ports, the controller will initiate from random port on the 1024-5000 range to 5900 on the server.

I'm attaching an example of the controller config, but this one is on a static configuration, I also have the icmp rule setup so I can ping the other computer to make sure its up.

If you understood how to properly configure your firewall this would be easy as you would have been prompted, or if your rules are too restrictive these blocked communications would be in your logs.

I suggest you start a new thread in the Kerio forum if you need more assistance., making sure to provide at least the version you are using, and try to provide as much information as possible.

BTW, make sure you password protect the server, even if its only on your lan.

One thing I like about it over the other flavors of VNC is that you can transfer files with it. Make you install the video drivers or it will be slower than other versions. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16183894 Sat, 27 May 2006 17:18:38 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16183754 anthrorules : "O and 1 more thing Real VNC can I control it over a LAN instead of going through the internet?"

Yes, with any VNC product, you just specify the internal host (computer name) or ip address of the computer you are attempting to access, and it will go through your LAN rather than the Internet.

With Real VNC, during install leave the options from making that pc(his) be the server and let it run as a service. It will always be running. You can then password protect it so that nobody but you can take control of the machine. You can take over his machine whenever you want.
