UltraVNC

This sounds like a job for UltraVNC SC.

Well that kinda worked but now it just sits and tries how should i have My server set up?

I have the Win VNC Server running on my computer.

Server? You actually need to be running the Viewer on your computer. Use the "/listen" switch, or for encryption this is what I use:

vncviewer.exe ...

There needs to be IP addresses or hostnames in the HOSTS sections.

I have a question. How do I set up a a standalone version when I don't know what the IP will be? I have a couple hundred users on DHCP, so I need to know how to make it listen on whatever the user's remote IP address is. Is there a comprehensive document on this anywhere?

With SC you don't need ...

Thank you very much for this information. I'll post it as a feature request, though it isn't a hight priority.

Can't it prompt the client for one each time he wants to connect? And please don't mention my-ip.com, etc. - I don't want to do it...

This is unfortunate. Dynamic DNS can be very handy. From my cell phone (Treo 650) I can remotely power on my home PC, VNC into it, and then shut it back down ...

I'm not a developer, though I write a lot of admin scripts, but I'd think if the domain was not specified then the domain of the current user could be attempted.

I don't know what the API would be, but in here is one way to do it in VBscript. (Yes, it is in bad form :oops: )

wscript.echo WScript ...

I've been using the viewer without the flasher socket for a long time now with no obvious side effects... other than closing a security hole. Making it an option is a good idea.

Yes, it can also avoid some confusion with 'interesting' error messages. The flasher socket is not a well known ...

I did some more goofball testing. :-D

Setting the viewer to 55 caused the flasher to use 65491. ???

Using port 100 set flasher to 3853. ?

Using 101 set flasher to port 1.

I then used 545, knowing that my machine was already listening on 445 and I got the following:

Error Creating listening ...

It is great that you got it working. It looks like Blade Runner uses 5400, 5401 and 5402. This actually makes sense because the Viewer in listen mode opens up port 5500 and 5400 by default.

The port 5400 feature is rarely used anymore. Telnetting into that port and then hitting enter will flash ...

Zone Alarm is probably blocking the incoming connection. Try disabling it for the test. Remember that with SC the server connects into the client.

Do you have a software firewall on the laptop?

Try running "vncviewer /listen".
