Connect To Your Mac Using Real VNC From Windows

I hope this would help mac os users who want to access their mac units remotely using Real VNC from a windows unit, be it desktop or laptop. The problem I had when enabling screen sharing in my MacBook was that after I try to connect using Real VNC, the program just closes. Not even an error message. That left me annoyed because I couldnt get it to work. Luckily after scouring the net, I came upon a forum wherein one user’s post made it work. Upon starting Real VNC, go to OPTIONS, then do the following
- Turn off Render Cursor Locally
- Set color to full color
That’s it.

jesse, hmm i only tried accessing it in our local network. and that was the solution that made it work. other colors just force the vnc client to close itself.
but if this does not work remotely, thanks for the tip

Thanks so much!!! This solved my issue. I love mac (leopard), but am required to use PC for work. I use hamachiX to tunnel to my home mac (from my work pc windows XP).
The vnc viewer just kept closing and I was frustrated.
I really appreciate you posting this to help others out!!!!
This fixed the problem.
btw…the hamachix I downloaded on 2/15/09 worked great (no terminal, config, etc needed).
I have a intel iMac running Leopard.

hey mac lover, mac os has a vpn client already installed. i dont think you need to use hamachiX to tunnel to your mac. you can go to network under system preferences to find the vpn client there
