"VNC viewer" and "Listening VNC Viewer" ??

[steve menard]

VNCVIEWER is is used outgoing to connect to another system running a server
used when the ports are setup so you can directly connect to the system 
you want to watch or control

listening VNCVIEWER Accepts incoming connections
used when a firewall or something else is blocking your connection;
the system you will watch or control will call back to your listening 
viewer on port 5500
you need to ensure firewalls are setup to allow the ports ;

typically listening viewer is when I can't adjust the remote system 
firewalls
