Forwar and backward connect to the vnc viewer...???

[Stewart Becker]

Paresh,

Vncserver doesn't know that the client is waiting - it just tries to
connect when you tell it to and provide it with the viewer's name or IP
address.  *You* know as a user, because you set the viewer up previously
(or someone else did and told you).

The term vncserver can be a little confusing regarding a reverse
connection, because in actual fact it is vncviewer that serves the TCP
port for receiving connections; vncserver is the client in this respect.
This is why a different port number is used, even though exactly the
same protocol is used - the messages are going in the opposite direction
with respect to the client/server relationship.

HTH,
