AmesMUG: VNC Viewers that work on Leopard?

[Colin Wheeler]

Ok I've finally figured it out. Previously I created another network  
location "CHG" for Coach House Gifts (where I work tech support) and  
put the DNS servers and the search domain in the network location and  
then created the VPN connection and connected to it through Internet  
Connect. I attempted to roughly do the same thing in Leopard (minus  
the fact that there is no internet connect in leopard which is a pain  
in the butt for me now because Leopard can't seem to remember my VPN  
password prompting me for it every time I need to connect), but that  
doesn't work. I removed the DNS and search domain info in the Network  
location and put it in the VPN connection info and explicitly told it  
to channel all traffic through the VPN connection.

Once I did that the VNC clients began to work and stopped crashing.  
I've tried the Screen Sharing app and Chicken of the VNC and they both  
work now. Thanks for telling me about the built in VNC client brandon!  
I had no idea about that part, just do that vnc:// and the Screen  
Sharing app comes up and then you can right click on it to keep it in  
your dock
