And those settings would be??? I've tried all the settings I can find, including turning off "Confirm uninvited connections before accepting".
That's what I've done, and together with checking the "Allow uninvited connections" and "Allow uninvited connections to control the desktop", it's worked for me for several versions of kde (and from Jerry's mail, I don't think I'm the only one).
Only do it on trusted networks of course, it's not something you want to have open to the internet
You could use an ssh tunnel to connect through the Internet with a bit of security. I use the following where InsideIP equals a machine inside my network running VNC Server. Use localhost if you have just the one PC or want to connect to your firewall. OutsideIP is the Internet address of the system. ssh -C -c blowfish -L 5901:InsideIP:5901 OutsideIP Then connect the client to localhost:1 . It seems to run at a usable speed over a medium speed DSL. If you throw in another -L parameter on the command line for port 139, you can even mount a Samba share and transfer files. That last one is pretty slow though. It's usually faster to use scp.
