I am looking for anyone who has working knowledge of running a VNC viewer on MacOS X (Panther here) to access a Windows PC running VNC server over either a Gigabit ethernet or a Firewire connection such as FireNet.
I already have my Win2000 VNC server (UltraVNC, which is able to refresh the display much more frequently than any other VNC I've used) setup. I also already have my VNC Viewer (Chicken of the VNC) setup on my Mac. I just want to know what kind of real world performance I can expect by going from 100Mbps to 1Gbps or to ethernet-over-Firewire at 400Mbps.
My goal is to emulate VirtualPC by using my existing physical PC through a VNC window on my Mac desktop. Right now, over my 100Mbps network, I can watch videos playing on the PC but I'd say every 2-3 frames of video are dropped. Not bad considering other VNC servers I've run refused to display any video to the client, but I'd like to get closer to full-screen/full-motion video over the network.
