Mac – VNC viewer not connecting to Mac from Windows

macmac-osxvnc

I have a VNC server running on a Mac.
When I try to use a VNC viewer, it says "no matching security types".

Is there any other software which can connect to a Mac like RDP?

If iI use screen sharing from another Mac, then it works but not from VNC.

EDIT: I am using:

  • Leopard 10.5.7,
  • vnc VIEWER 4.1.3,
  • nothing installed on Mac,
  • On Same LAN,

Try TightVNC to connect. It seems to work when the free edition of RealVNC does not. http://www.tightvnc.com/

I've also found that the VNC viewer will konk out when connecting to the Mac if the viewer is not running in millions or full color mode.
