TICKET ARCHIVE -> Using ARD 3 to control XP machine
rrz - Dec 28, 2006 - 5:52 pm
I'm currently using Windows Remote Desktop Connection on my main osx machine to manage an XP server, but it would be nice to manage my mixed environment using only ARD 3 which I like using for the Mac side of things. Is there anyone who has successfully pulled this off?
I have VNC Server running on the XP, and ARD can see it, but anytime I try to control (or even send a message) the connections seems to get lost. I have port 5900 open on the XP machine (at least Norton Firewall tells me its open) and on the mac as well.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi Raymond
I don't know anything about Windows Remote Desktop, but on the Mac, open Terminal and see what port VNC is using;
sudo /usr/sbin/lsof -i -P
Look for that port number with a "LISTEN" next to it.
It may not be 5900. Could be 5901 or similar.
Check what port VNC is using on the PC also. Can't tell you how to do that, unless WRD has the settings you can look at.
Let me know if this helps. If not, I'll reopen it.
