Java 8 Vnc problem

[Sunshine12]

Hello.

I am having trouble connecting to any of my machines using Vnc.

This has only happened since i was forced to update java to version 8.

Java have increased there security settings which is now blocking me from connecting.

I have added an exception ( 192.168.0.20:5800) to the java list but now i get another error. "Error access denied("java.net socketIPPermission""192.168.0.20:5900" conn)
Followed by a button saying Login again.

I have tried reverting back to java 7 but no luck.

Does IX developer support Java 8???

I really need to find a fast answer to this.

Thank you..

Just some extra info.

It looks like the VNC is blocking the access and then redirecting it to the next port 5900.

My solution was to download another VNC viewer (such as TightVNC or UltraVNC) rather than using the Java-based viewer (RealVNC) built into the browser.
