The format is localhost:, where is the display number we used in the previous section, Secure your VNC connection. After installing and opening the viewer, connect to the localhost through your VNC client. This seemed to make it go a little faster but still not usable.Īlso to note. Connect to VNC from your Desktop (Mac OS X) While there are many options for VNC Viewer clients, this guide will use RealVNC Viewer. The next thing I did was I went to Display Settings on the mac and switched it from 1920x1080 to 800圆00 and switched colors from Millions to Thousands. 256, 64, 8, 8 Dark Colors, 4 Grey Colors, Black & White seem to get me kicked off by the mac mini. The other option I tried changing was Colors but only "Full Colors" seems to work. There are also options like "Use CopyRect encoding" checked "Use Cache Encoding" (unchecked) "Zip/Tight Compression" (checked with 6) and "Jpeg (Tight) - Quality:" (checked with 6). I wonder if any of the other options (ZRLE, Tight, Zlib(+xor), ZlibHex, RRE, CoRRE, Raw, Ultra, ZYWRLE) are faster Like VNC Viewer has "Format and Encoding" and Hextile is what I have it using. I just downloaded Ultra VNC Viewer and that seems to be a little faster (Windows 7) but it is still too slow to use.Īnother things is when I am trying to connect to my machine most VNC Viewers have options.

I even tried it on my WIFI Lan that it was connected to also and although that was the fastest it was still delayed and hard to use XCode.įirst I tried Real VNC (Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 7) and then I tried Mocha VNC (iPhone). The problem is that it is amazingly slow. Then I opened forwarded port 5900 on my router so I could access it externally. I bought a Mac Mini and turned on Screen Sharing and added a password.
