VNC from Windows to Mac freezing constantly [closed]

Solution 1:

This is a known issue with clipboard incompatability.

For Example a TightVNC connection configuration file will contain disableclipboard=0. Change that value to 1 and your VNC server on the MAC side will not crash.

Solution 2:

I've had similar problems in the past with RealVNC and TightVNC.

Have you tried UltraVNC yet? This solved the problem for us. Not sure why.

Solution 3:

I had exactly the same problem with Tiger except I was trying to remote in from a Windows XP machine. I tried a variety of different clients, all with exactly the same results.

In the end I just turned off the VNC server included with Mac OS X and installed Vine Server instead. Never had a problem with Vine Server, no matter which client I used on the Windows PC.

I should probably mention, when I upgraded to Leopard, I went back to using the included VNC server. It seems to be more stable.
