I just figured out the problem. Android-vnc-viewer does not support encryption 
(which enterprise version supports). Once I disable encryption I am able to 
connect.

Can you possibly add support for encryption in a future release?

Thanks

I agree, it would be great if encryption was supported in a future release. I 
experienced the same problem trying to connect to my Real VNC Enterprise 
servers.

Can't connect my DROID to VNC4.4 - no encryption, no password. VNC on other 
computers 
can connect just fine so I know the VNC Service is working.
I've shut down and rebooted the DROID. 
Still no connection.
I have this same problem with Android-VNC and VNC100. I've tried various color 
settings. Still no go.
Any suggestions?

Setting encryption to "Prefer on" works with RealVNC E4.5.3, while continuing 
to allow encrypted connection from clients that support it.

As I understand it: the reason to buy RealVNC - is that it provides full 
encryption (also login) - as the only VNC client, so it should be safe over 
internet/public hotspots.
I found this nice application when searching for terme "realvnc" in the market.

Prettyplease, support RealVNC's encryption, it works fine if encryption is not 
required, but that defies the reason to use RealVNC.

Thank you,

BTW; regarding what I wrote, it's with RealVNC 4.5.4 for Linux, on Ubuntu 10.10 
- All authentication methods work, unless encryption is enabled (then it's 
impossible to log-in)

Hi Guys, apparently RealVNC have just announced an android version of the VNC 
viewer!

I would like to request that support for OpenSSL encryption be added, the kind 
that x11vnc uses.  x11vnc from the Ubuntu repositories (0.9.9-1) with options 
"usepw" "display :0" just works with android-vnc-viewer (it doesn't after the 
update, but that is probably something I did).
I know my router's WiFi is encrypted, but it would just be insecure on the 
public internet.

You guys should have a 'donate "app" ' on Android Market. I am impressed with 
this vnc client you have developed, but OpenSSL support will make it excellent.
