I have been using RealVNC for a while, but ever since I upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit, when I try to connect to my computer remotely (usually through my iPod or iPad), I get a 'connection reset by peer' (10054) error.
If anyone knows about VNC or Remote Desktop stuff (I'm guessing GPFontaine would know about it), and can help, do help.

MSTSC.exe = WIN
PC to PC, why use VNC instead of RDC?
I only use VNC for cross platform stuff.

Okay, I have looked at all the advice there.
1. Deregister the RealVNC service, and run it in user mode I cannot do this, since I usually logout/lock my computer after I am done remotely connecting to my computer, and that isn't possible in user mode.
2. Use TightVNC. Tried that, doesn't seem to support encryption. I need encryption.

Well, that was close to what I was seeing, so I applied the fix.
Also, when VNC did work, I used either AVG or Avast, on Windows Vista or 7 32-bit.
I now use Microsoft Security Essentials, on Windows 7 64-bit.
EDIT: just tested, didn't work.
Also, it seems to work when I am connected to my home network, but not where I usually try to access it from. I might try changing the port.

Good thing to note, only versions of windows 7 above home premium support remote desktop connections through the windows applications
Home premium does allow being the computer connected to, but won't connect to others
... 96% sure on this

All editions of Windows 7 include Remote Desktop Connection.
You can use Remote Desktop to initiate a connection from any edition of Windows 7.
You can connect to computers running Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, or Windows 7 Enterprise.
You can't use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to computers running Windows 7 Starter, Windows 7 Home Basic, or Windows 7 Home Premium.
|
May or may not be relevant in cases of 3rd party software.
You could always try logmein?

As long as there is an iPhone/iPad app for logmein, I'll take a look.
EDIT: There is an iPhone/iPad app. However, the desktop application (LogMeIn Pro) is a paid program. You can guess how I am going to get it.
EDIT: Using 30 day pro trial. Looks like it is working so far.

Terminal Services or Remote Desktop (it was renamed over the last few years) is not VNC. The two have nothing to do with each other.
VNC is more complicated than LogMeIn. It requires that you understand running a service, managing an application, setting up port forwarding on a router, and configuring a software firewall. LogMeIn requires that you sign up for an account and install a software product.
VNC has more features for free.

I know what a service in windows is, I know how to manage applications, I know (and have, for the record) set up port forwarding on my router, and configured (read: turned off) my firewall.
If LogMeIn works, I'll most likely just use that and won't look back. Unless the free version (I am in a 30 day pro trial) is useless.

I have a feeling that means Dynamic DNS. If I am thinking correctly, I have a dynamic DNS from dyndns (It was either that or adding $10 onto the internet bill for a static IP). Correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, is it working correctly?

Yes. I actually have a program that makes sure that my dynamic DNS is set-up correctly at all times.

Did you configure both port forwarding and the local firewall?

I configured port forwarding on my router, and my firewall is off. LogMeIn doesn't require port forwarding. VNC does, yet it still does not work.

Your Windows Firewall is off? That is a terrible idea...
Are you using any other firewall software?

I am not using any other firewall. I just want to get VNC working, then I will worry about my firewall.

Okay, I managed to get LogMeIn to work. It previously wouldn't connect because my iPod was connected to a proxy server that requires authentication, and proxy server authentication support is broken on iOS. After using a friend's netbook to connect to my computer and disable the requirement of authentication (Proxy is hosted on my laptop), it started working right.
However, I am using a 30 day trial of LMI Pro. If the free version proves useless, I will want to get VNC working.

so, im bumping this thread, because for whatever reason, my touchpad (the little pad that is on the bottom of my laptop) wont turn off. there is a button that either turns that pad on or off, so i dont have to worry about moving the mouse w/the palm of my hand, but it wont turn off now.
before, all i had to do was push that button, and it would turn off. now it wont turn off. so my mouse is moving all over the place cuz of the palms of my hands.
any reason as to why this might happen?
