Close that command window Follow steps Type ping ip address , where ip address is the IPv4 number you wrote down separated by periods.

Post back your results : One last thing, make sure you followed my other piece of advice: Did you install VNC on an account with Local Administrator access, and the server VNC is running in the taskbar? I've set firewalls to allow VNC connections. Is there some other setting in Win7 that's perhaps blocking VNC? Probably not, huh? I was doing a little digging on the two other tools you guys referenced. Live Mesh sounds like way more than what I'm looking for.

We don't need file syncing and all that other stuff. We just need to be able to view another workstation on our network and control it if necessary. UltraVNC isn't working, either. I installed it on both Win7 and WinXP and it just doesn't want to cooperate. Using XP to connect to 7 doesn't work.

I get an error saying the server doesn't have a valid password enabled. I made sure I configured one. Connecting to XP from 7 works Then it tells me that VNC Viewer has stopped working. I can connect to the XP machine from Win7 but not vice versa I get the same error: Server closed connection. Also regarding the use of IP address to connect, you mean on the popup where it asks what server to connect to? It doesn't matter if I use the computer name or the IP I still get the same results. Okay a couple things.

This is because we need to make sure there's an open connection. What's the point of VNC not working when the most basic ping commands don't? That's why we test. The test also provided us with something valuable: the computers can see each other.

Using two VNC clients may 'work the same way' in terms of what they do, but they are fundamentally different. They are created differently. I am no programmer, but having two products try to connect to each other is not really attempting to solve any problems other than criss-cross the intended connections either VNC is trying to make.
