Chapter 6: Setting Up VNC Server
For example:
In this picture, VNC Server is running on a host computer with a private network address of 192.168.0.133.
In addition:
• VNC Server is listening for connections on port 5980. The port number is separated from the network
address by a single colon, which means it represents a port in the range 5901 to 5999. Note that:
— If the port number is separated from the network address by two colons, it represents a port outside
the range 5900 to 5999, so for example 192.168.0.133::80 means VNC Server is listening on port 80.
— If no port number is displayed, VNC Server is listening on the default port for VNC, 5900.
• VNC Server (Enterprise) or VNC Server (Personal) is serving VNC Viewer for Java on port 5880.
For more information on ports, start with Configuring ports on page 88.
Listing all connectivity options
The Connectivity section lists all network addresses and other means of identifying VNC Server over a
private network (for equivalent information for Internet connections, see Connecting over the Internet on
page 28):
In this picture:
• Two IPv4 network addresses are displayed.
• Four IPv6 network addresses are displayed. Note these are only valid in an IPv6-enabled environment.
• The Bonjour or Avahi name is displayed. Note only Zeroconf-enabled applications such as VNC Viewer
for Android or VNC Viewer for iOS are able to discover VNC Server. (VNC Viewer is not Zeroconfenabled
in this release.)
