| 04:47.12 | RyanE | wps: you around? |
| 04:47.51 | wps | yes |
| 04:48.54 | RyanE | about your VNC connection issues. What's the big problem? That you don't know what the IP address is, or that you can't connect in through a firewall? |
| 04:49.09 | RyanE | is this for support issues for helping someone else? |
| 04:49.21 | wps | yes, I am the family tech support |
| 04:49.29 | wps | I hate doing tech support not in person though |
| 04:49.43 | wps | my brother is in another state though so getting to the computer isn't an option |
| 04:49.46 | RyanE | have you checked into copilot (www.copilot.com)? |
| 04:50.10 | wps | the issue is that he doesn't have a static IP, so I can trying to decide the best way to get onto his machine |
| 04:50.17 | RyanE | of course, I think it's only windows, so that may not be an option. |
| 04:50.22 | RyanE | since you're not windows, right? |
| 04:50.30 | wps | mac to mac |
| 04:50.34 | RyanE | ok. |
| 04:51.05 | RyanE | I have some software running here called vnc reflector, that allows you to have your helpee run VNC server, and connect out to my reflector, then I can connect with a client. |
| 04:51.19 | RyanE | it's available on the net, and works well. |
| 04:51.40 | RyanE | you could compile that for your mac and allow them to connect to you. |
| 04:52.14 | RyanE | it's setup wasn't completely easy, but it does work. You only have to tell your 'victim' to download and run the VNC server, and connect to your IP / port. |
| 04:53.56 | RyanE | anyway, it's just an idea, but I thought it would be easier to tell you via IRC than email. |
| 04:54.29 | wps | where can I read more about vnc reflector? |
| 04:54.57 | RyanE | http://freshmeat.net/projects/vnc-reflector/ |
| 04:55.24 | RyanE | anyway, that's what I've been trying to use, since copilot is kind of expensive when I'm the person who's helping someone else... |
| 04:59.44 | RyanE | btw, I was looking into it not for connecting to a dynamic IP, but connecting through firewalls. Since the helpee is connecting to my firewall, I can port forward into my vnc reflector, and they don't have to set anything up. |
