Is there a FREE VNC software that works with WIndows Vista?

I want to use: Mocha VNC Lite app for my iPhone and I think I need to install something on my Vista laptop. Does anyone know of a FREE software (not a 30day trial)?

whats the best free VNC for commercial use?

Im just starting out “business” and i need to offer remote assistance on my website. I need a VNC program the is easy for the client to use and can be installed on the clients computer easily since they are not computer savvy.

please refer me to the best FREE vnc program that i can use for commercial use…thx
just to make it clear.. what i meant by commercial use is: customer needs remote assistance and i provide for a fee
i need it to be free on both ends

Which free VNC program is best?

I have multiple computers in my house and would find it easier to make changes in one location then having to go to each one.

What is the best free VNC iPhone app?

VNC Free Edition Question (details)?

I set up RealVNC free edition on my computer and my grandpa’s computer. I installed it on his and set a password and I let any computer access it with the right password. I know for me to connect, I need to have him run “start” then “programs”, “realvnc” then “user mode” then “run user mode”. I also have his external IP and I have allowed Windows Firewall to allow VNC. Now, for me to connect to his computer, what do I have to run? Any answers would be great! Thanks!

Is It BT Yahoo or am I missing something?

IS IT BT OR HAVE I MISSED SOMETHING?

My Problems
I have had continuing problems with BT Yahoo’s email ever since I (now regrettably) signed up to BT Broadband some months ago on the recommendation of a friend.
My Set Up
My system is Windows 2000 Professional; where I am the Administrator and user of two Windows 2000 user log in accounts.
My connection is via LAN/NIC router and network card and I only use email on one of two networked computers.
My computer security includes AVG Pro anti virus, Zone Alarm Pro firewall and Acronis Privacy Expert Suite. I have come to these after many years of research and in my opinion are the best I have found.
Email is the most important application for my work.
I only need two email accounts – one for domestic and friends correspondence, and one for my work. Previous providers have given me UEMA (unlimited email addresses) or 20 – all on email servers via my email client (Outlook Express). BT only offers customers 4 – all on web servers through Yahoo.
My BT primary email account is under my Windows 2000 administrator log in and my two BT email sub accounts are on two separate Windows 2000 user log ins.
I do not use the main BT primary account because it’s address is my full name and therefore my identity, which I do not want for important reasons. If they have my full name, they only need to find my address – pretty easy – and I get flooded with junk mail from US investment sharks and dodgy services which I am now too old for!
So why does BT not let customers choose the name part of their email address. They ask you to choose an email address when you sign up; but then they completely ignore your choice and insert theirs; with no opportunity to change it.
I use Outlook Express for my emails, and have no wish to use a web based email service. This is partly because I find it too slow and limiting. But also because; and although I am fully aware that the internet is not completely secure; web based mail tends to be less secure than dedicated mail server based email using an email client such as Outlook Express, and you can make your use of it as secure as currently possible and less open to hackers.
I correspond, publish and post to hundreds of journalists and correspondents all over the world. I am also a private tutor here in UK and use email for assignments to and from students. My email service must therefore be reliable and as secure as possible. The main reason for this is that I may be in contact with correspondents in countries with repressive regimes or under occupation. This is another reason why it is better that my email address does not show my name, so that there is less chance for people to be seen to be contacting me.
I can get free web based email from Yahoo, Hotmail and others any time I want, without BT, and use it via Outlook Express; so BT are not giving away anything special with their “Award winning” Broadband regarding email are they?
Why does BT not have mail server based email?
I assumed this would be available when I signed up with BT Broadband. If I had realised BT used web based email through US owned Yahoo I would not have gone with BT.
My old ISP was much better. It was on a mail server where I used Outlook Express – a perfect set up that did everything I needed the way I wanted. Now I cannot even get access to that and have lost lots of important messages and contacts who have thought I had disappeared or was not interested.

Pretty Coloured Emails and Home Page. And Nothing But Months Of Problems From The Start
The Yahoo web based email service attached so generously with BT Broadband has given me trouble more or less since I first signed up with it some months ago. Since then I have spent many hours and days on and off trying to sort it out – going through all the help files and forums.
The first sub account I created verified right away and worked fine immediately.
The second did not work. It took a long time (several days) to verify. But it still did not work.
Initially this fault was corrected from BT’s technical help centre in India.
A couple of weeks later, another of my two sub accounts, the most important one for most of my work, also ceased to work.
I haven’t used the call centre in India much because; although I find the staff to be superb; it is so long-winded and tiresome, as they have to go through BT’s set procedures every time. Which is probably the reason why it is often ultimately found to be rather useless. India is very advanced in computer technology; and the Indian staff are always thoroughly proficient, friendly, courteous and as helpful as possible. But it seems to me that the problem is with the BT infrastructure or management ineffectiveness or poor and ineffectual training or staff suffering under the constraints of BT’s poor service that is the cause of BT’s problems here.
I could originally send via the second BT sub account on Yahoo itself on the web, but not via

How To Send Bulk Emails?

I am trying to send blocks of emails via mail merge out of Act! Database (~8000 emails in one go a few times a month) and am looking for some kind of mail server option that lets us send this amount quickly.

Ideally I am looking for no change locally so the database and mail merge stays the same only the mail server I upload to runs quicker.

Using a standard smtp mail server that comes with the web hosting I have, I can send only about 1 every 10sec (sometimes longer) , so it takes a long time

Ideally the perfect solution would be to have a new mail server address that I can upload the mail to instead that can send this volume fast, is this possible? or is there another option available, hosting my own mail server on my server?

(Just incase you fear that I am sending unsolicited spam, these clients are expecting these email, as they requested it and wont be happy if they don’t receive one)

Hope you can help and give me some ideas towards a solution

Live CD with a windows theme?

Hey,

At my school, our network administrators and such are absolute nazis, and think anything that’s not MSWord on their WinXP Pentium 3 machines is ‘hacking’ or ‘defacing’.

I really want to take a livecd with me (I built debian from source, etc…I’m a true sysadmin), however, if I boot a livecd, it’s immediately apparent that it’s not windows, and I’ve been booted a couple of times.

Basically, are there any live distros availible using either a Windows-esque window manager or have an XP theme preapplied to KDE/Gnome?

Thanks
BartPE isn’t what I want. I had considered that, however, it’s still windows. 640×480 windows.

Best free Linux Operating System for general user newbie?

I’m a newbie to linux and like to switch to the most suitable free Linux Operating System for general user? What I’m looking for:

1) ease of use – need not be for geeks – roughly the level of an average Windows XP home user;

2) boot-up disc under 1 Cd-rom and easy to set-up

3) must be totally free! (very impt!)

4) ability to run/support multilingual programs (I’m learning a foreign language)

5) doesn’t hog too much system resource

I’ve been recommended to some distributions like Debian but it appears there are many subdistributions under it. Is Simplymepris any good? Would be most appreciative if one can come up with some alternative suggestions.
Are there many subdistributions under under Ubuntu? Could one be more specific?

Why can’t I access the yahoo email server?

Every day for long periods of time I can access all websites except my yahoo email. This morning it was perfect now I get nothing but ‘Firefox can’t find the server at uk.mc245.mail.yahoo.com.’ I tried internet explorer but same problem. I am based in Thailand.

My Windows Mail can receive BUT can’t send emails. Worked well in a friend house when installed, but not home.

Friend installed a new email account in my Windows Mail (which I had never used in the past). It worked perfect, quick, no problems. After a couple days I tried using WIndows Mail at home, via my wireless, but it didnt work. I can receive, but not send. If I try to read my mail directly from the server (via webmail) it works fine, the problem is when trying to read via Windows Mail. The erroe message is first
“POP3 server has not responded in 60 seconds…”
and then
“The connection to the server has failed. Subject ‘Como va tu viaje?’, Account: ‘mail.mendozafigari.com’, Server: ‘mail.mendozafigari.com’, Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E”

Why can I intermittently not send Yahoo e-mails through Outlook Express?

I’ve been using Yahoo Mail for almost 6 years using POP3/SMTP through Outlook Express v6. All of a sudden (since last week), I’m having trouble sending e-mails (receiving is perfect). I have to click Send between 2 and 15 times before they go through. Even stranger – I have two e-mail addresses with Yahoo and only one is faulty. Here’s the error message (slightly modified):

The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender’s e-mail address. The sender’s e-mail address was ‘@yahoo.co.uk’. Subject ”, Account: ‘Mail‘, Server: ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: ’553 From: address not verified; see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/edit/alternate_email/index.html’, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 553, Error Number: 0x800CCC78

I recently changed ISPs but I don’t think that’s the problem, otherwise why would the other mail work? I also can send without problems to other POP/SMTP accounts (I have 6 altogether).

my yahoo mail will not attach files does anyone have a quick fix fo me Urgent solution required?

this only occured after the motel ISP changed my wireles auto detect to go online thru their server. Prior everything worked perfect. also while trying to attach a file I received notice from yahoo of some kind of error condition that need attention and my yahoo connection went down

Daul Boot Vista Home Premium/Debian Live 501 on HP M8530f?

I have a sytem with vista home premium already working and would like to install a copy of debian live 501 for dual boot. I’m not 100% comfortable with how to avoid messing up the booting process and preventing myself from booting back to vista.

So far I have created 2 extra partitions on my disk: 23gb J: onto which I will install Debian and 5gb for swap partition.

What is it that I have to -avoid- doing that will keep my vista accessible and allow dual-boot?

What is it that I should make sure to do to keep vista and have it and debian available for dual boot?

How do I boot Windows 7 from Linux Debian GRUB loader?

I wanted to be able to dual boot between Windows 7 and Debian because I wanted to be able to boot only into OpenITG. I used Debian because it was what was used in ITG Dedicabs and used less RAM, meaning a better performance. I followed a guide on Boxxors.com showing this is possible. I used a partition manager to set aside 20GB for Debian and used THAT partition. However, when it was done installing I was not able to see windows 7 in the GRUB loader. I know that it is still there because I go to “Computer” in Debain and see the partition I used for Windows 7. How can I add windows 7 to the boot list or at the very least boot into windows 7 using some kind of command on the command line? I dont want to have to reinstall windows 7.
I am using Debian 5 which has GRUB version 0.97. Would I still be able to reconfigure it (im assuming yes)? btw i tried using the command prompt with my windows 7 disk and using that command. it seemed to only affect the partitions that didnt have windows 7 in it (which is listed as volume 2 by the linux installer).

How do you recommend I go about learning Java as my FIRST programming language?

Any resources, books, courses (online), or ANYTHING that you think will help me is greatly and sincerely appreciated.

The small details:

The only other experience I have is in HTML and we design and I do not believe it counts for this want of experience.

I also run Linux (Debian Sid) as an operating system and have a technical background (just not in programming or development). I will most likely be using Eclipse as my Java tool of choice, this much I do know from what I have read…

I need technical help from someone who uses Linux?

There’s a NULL pointer dereference used to cause a kernel OOPS, which triggers the clone(2) bug, CVE-2010-4258. Can I use CVE-2010-4165 to cause a kernel OOPS and trigger the same bug?

if you make a new thread using clone(2) using the CLONE_CHILED_CLEARTID flag

a NULL word will be written to a user specified pointer

but it checks is you can

if the process that you made with clone() OOPSes

then it writes it without checking

allowing me to set the UID to root

it works

the problem is

turbo c++ alternatives for linux?

I live in India and here, in the land of education-board tards, we still have to use good ol’ turbo c++! now with vista and such, theres no way to run on full screen mode and half my program’s outputs disappear off the lower end of the screen. Plus the goddamned compiler works only when prodded and poked like a lazy donkey.
Please give me aternative compilers wih which i can use my old header files on CDLinux or opensuse or debian?

How can I bind to specific IP Address for outbound PHP/MySQL connection (linux)?

Have multiple IP addresses, using aliases, for instance:

eth0 192.168.0.1
eth0:0 192.168.0.101
eth0:1 192.168.0.102 <- would like to use
eth0:2 192.168.0.103

Would like to bind the outbound ip address, there is no mysql server on this box. For security purposes, I must connect to the remote server using a specific unchangeable ip address. Nor can I change the primary IP address on this box.

debian box, with root access.
