Figure 32 WinVNC: Current User Properties dialog box
Before a remote machine (on which VNC Viewer is installed) can access a Thin Client:
1. The IP address (or valid DNS name) of the Thin Client (the desktop that is to be
operated/monitored) must be given to the remote administrator/user.
The IP Address can be obtained from the Details area (Local Area Connection) of the
Network Connections dialog box (accessed by clicking Start | Settings | Network
Connections, clicking the Local Area Connection icon and scrolling down to the
Details area in the left pane).
Note
You can obtain the IP Address of an administrator Thin Client by hovering the
mouse arrow over the VNC icon in the system tray of the administrator’s
taskbar.
2. A password for the administrator to use must be entered into the WinVNC: Current
User Properties dialog box (see Figure 32).
Note
For the WinVNC: Current User Properties dialog box option details, refer to
the VNC Web site.
