VNC to Mac OS 10.5 from Windows
Friday, April 17th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under
I’ve been trying for a while to get the Mac “Screen Sharing” to work.? I want to control the Mac from a Windows Vista machine.? Even though Screen Sharing is just a VNC server, my RealVNC client would seem to connect for a split second and then the connection would go away.
I finally found the solution: in the VNC client (vncviewer) options, set the encoding to “Hextile” and the color level to “Full”.? Now it connects fine!

Very nice Karl!
Of course I haven’t had to do this yet. (Our Bomgar appliance is my friend.)
But nice to see this in case I need to do this soon.
