Discovering a network address
To connect to a computer, you must obtain a network address uniquely identifying it:
iMac
or beethoven.acme.com
. Examine the Apple Remote Desktop/Screen Sharing dialog (Mac), or Control Panel > System (Windows).192.168.2.187
. Examine the VNC Server dialog, or run a command such as ifconfig
(Mac and Linux) or ipconfig
(Windows).212.44.6.82
. To discover it, navigate to www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/nettest.cgi from a web browser on the computer.By default, VNC Enterprise Edition and VNC Personal Edition listen on the registered port for VNC, 5900. However, it is possible for this to change, in which case you must qualify the network address with the new port number when you establish a connection. Note you do not have to specify a port to connect to Apple Remote Desktop/Screen Sharing.
