I'm using the repeater service for some time now, and it succeeds in 85%-90% of the cases.
In order for it to operate you need to run it on some machine that has a static IP (or you might be able to use some Dynamic DNS services - but I havn't tried that) with the incoming ports (you can select any unused port) open in the firewall.
I recommend running it as a service by registering it first using the -install command line parameter, and then starting it from the services and specifiying "Restart on failure" - It tends to fail from time to time...
Next you need to build a SC version (use the latest version from here
http://www.uvnc.net/index.php?section=19)that has your IP and port in the helpdesk.txt file.
Following is a line from mine:
Code: Select all
[HOST]
Tech support team
-id 10013 -connect 67.91.101.128:5500 -noregistry
Last you need to start your viewer with proxy settings to your repeater machine and port (not the same port, and other one - which defaults to 5901 - so you can leave it as is) and in the host name type
ID:1234 note that the letters ID must be capital, or else it doesn't work.
Hope this helps a bit.
