Cannot run VNC viewer unless VNC server is running

Post by rynofunk »

I have been using VNC viewer for about 6 months. Unfortunately our tech assistant no longer works for us and I had to Reformat the CPU that was my VNC server. I have reinstalled it and can use it but it will not work unless VNC server is running. I used to be able to just establish a connection by entering a password with the viewer. I guess the best way to explain it is that I had to reformat my partners office pc. And my laptop has the viewer. I want the Office pc to always be ready to accept an incoming connection so I can assist my partner and control his pc when I am not there. I have a VPN setup and it is functioning fine. I would login to the VPN, click on my viewer and it would connect. Now someone has to be there to launch the VNC server on the office PC.

How can I get the VNC server to always run even after startup?launch everytime my pc boots. It requires launch everytime now, and if noone is there I cannot use the VNC.
Do I want to be running VNC viewer instead of VNC server on my office pc and always run listen mode? PLease Help

Thanks everyone . I know your time is valuable
