    Firewall & a VNC connection error


    I've installed a VNC client by Jaadu both on my win 7 64 system & my iPhone.

    Everything went smoothly until I applied the FreeSSHd encryption program.

    When I try to connect with the computer the iphone gets this error:

    Connection Error:

    connection refused. You may have a firewall blocking access. Please check your connection settings & try again.

    Now FreeSSHd has forums, but for some reason I get get past the challenge textbox. I've tried several times with different browers. It just wont let me post a question there.

    I've looked in the firewall section in the control panel, but I dont see anything about FreeSSHd to enable?

    Any help or ideas?

    Thanks.

    If it helps anyone, in the FreeSShd settings, under Server Status

    SSH server is not running

    and has a big red X

    Where it actually should be running with a green check, but isnt.

    Right under neath it there is a "Click here to start" link, but even though I am able to click it, its not activating?

    I'm going to assume this is whats holding up the firewall?
