Screen sharing

Tue Oct 29 13:07:11 EDT 2013

Paul,

I do not have Apple Remote.
Wow that was it though, Paul!!  even though I do not have Apple Remote, I turned off the firewall anyway and now I can share the screen.  Something must have happened, because I believe that I have always has the firewall turned on.  Now I cannot share the screen with it on.  When I was in the screen sharing mode I turned the firewall on, but it did not ask me do do anything.  In the firewall options it has an entree for screensharing allowed, which is not modifiable and an entree for screensharingd allowed  that is modifiable.  So does this mean that I can no longer have the firewall on?
Any way thanks for the clue that got me going again

Henk

The short-term fix is to turn off Remote Login and Remote Management in the Sharing Preference Pane, reboot and then turn them back on. The firewall wall will then ask if you want to allow incoming connections to a program something like displaydr - I forget the real name. This is only a temporary fix and Apple has to do something.
