Chapter 2, Getting Started: Connecting A Client To A Host Computer
This chapter aims to help the majority of users get started making their first connection from a client computer running VNC Viewer to a host computer running VNC Server.
Connecting is usually a straightforward process but because computer networks must be secure problems can occasionally occur. This chapter offers help for the most common connection issues but it may also be necessary to consult the RealVNC web site, or contact Support. Alternatively, if you are connecting within a private network such as a corporate Local Area Network (LAN), consult your system administrator.
Note: This chapter assumes both host and client computers are set up correctly. For more information, see Getting VNC Enterprise Edition ready to use.
