...but he doesn't have the server running. The server installs when you install the client which is the only part that he does use.
The firewall asks him if he wants to allow the incoming request to go through, and of course he says no. He has had this happen a few times in the past few weeks and startied noting the IP every time.
He speculated that some of these people may have the server installed and opened a VNC session to their IPs. Not surprisingly, he got a logon prompt. "Hmmmm, let's try "password" for the password...." BINGO!

No reason for sharing this story other than boredom and to advise everybody to have a clue what you're doing when you install software, especially networking software. I don't think we'll mess with them or teach them any lessons but it is still pretty funny!
