Connection error: {10060} A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

If the IP address of the remote client not known in advance, but you control it, set the flag
Get client address from URL. Instead of a customer's address specify the address of the web page (including http://) which you can later edit. The server will periodically read this ASCII file, taken from his first line and interpret it as the address of the remote client.

The client stores the settings in the file connlist.rcl, which should be in the working directory
of RemoteClient.exe.

Speed: The interaction between client and server in a request-response mode. The client sends a request to the server, which can be transmitted commands keyboard and mouse, in response the server sends the image to the remote computer screens. In order to save bandwidth you can change the value of the interval between client requests.
- Fast: The client sends a request to 5 times per second
- Slow: The client sends a request to 1 time per second
- Manual: The client sends a request only at the user's
Low quality mode: This mode is recommended in order to reduce traffic if the remote computer screen dominates the graphic information. By reducing the quality of transmitted images can reduce the traffic.
If you want the client to remember your password, enter the password in the box and check the
save password. If this flag is not set will need to enter a password each time you connect to the server.
