VNC the connection was refused by the computer, When checked, we found that he set up a prompt association and he showed a port other than the default for VNC (5900) anyway didn&#8217;t plan VNC Server to use that port. Thus, our Engineers planned the VNC specialist to the predefined port. We adjusted the port in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code>\/usr\/canister\/vncserver<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This legitimate issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VNC the connection was refused by the computer, Ports 5901 and upwards can be used if you have different grandstands and the accompanying consistent port number for each show.
