RealVNC Connection reset by peer (10054)
May 23rd, 2009
Are you trying to connect to a RealVNC Free Edition server on a machine with Vista x64 and getting booted out right after entering your password with the following message?Connection reset by peer (10054)
The free edition of RealVNC does not support 64-bit operating systems like Vista x64. To get RealVNC server to work on one, you will need to purchase the Enterprise edition of RealVNC.
Screw that, I say! A cheaper and better solution is to get UltraVNC. It's a great open source VNC server with x64 support and has plenty of features and plugins available. Because VNC is based on a standard protocol called RFB, it is compatible with RealVNC, allowing you to use RealVNC viewer on an UltraVNC server or vice versa. The only things that won't work when you do this are the extra plugins and features specific to each program (like file transfers), but everyday remote desktop will work just fine.
You can download UltraVNC from the UltraVNC website.
