UltraVNC

Hi guys, I have the same issue. I have tested on both Win98 and on WinXP. I am using a *standard* BMP-based wallpaper, and NOT an active desktop (in fact, that's disabled). When I connect, the wallpaper stays. If I connect again, the wallpaper stays. I posted this bug back in August, and so far as I ...

This is an intruiging question. I have been pondering possible solutions for a little while, and I've come to an idea. There are some points I would like to voice first though. I don't think it's a good idea to have it attempt to just connect every minute. You LAN admin might not want the extra ...

Hi Bob, This is not really an UltraVNC question. But I will try to help you. One thing to consider here is that if DHCP will assign addresses on your LAN, you will most likely have a problem. As I see it, in order to get into a system, your router must forward a port to a predictable IP/port ...

Just checking on the status of this post, and saw no one has replied. Are we the only ones attempting to use this feature? Sure could use some help as we're stumped.

I'm going to assume that you get VNC installed and that you can set it's options. Given that, here's the general idea: 1. If you're behind a router, forward ports to your internal IP addresses. This is different for every make of router/firewall, so I'm hoping you have some knowledge of this. If not ...

Howdy guys, I have an install-time feature that I would like to see removed. When you install UltraVNC for RC18, it loads your browser to show an index of current VNC downloads. This is nice, but I'd sure like to see an option to turn that off, or to have it removed and replaced with a shortcut in ...

Something that I haven't seen in this thread is the problem that DHCP introduces. The advice so far looks great, but keep in mind that if your machines boot in opposite order, you may get the internal IP addresses reversed. If you're connecting from outside your network (from the internet) and your ...

I have 2 suggestions that may be of assistance: 1. The port UltraVNC uses by default for its HTTP communication is 5800 (5900 for the viewer). Check your firewall for allowance of this port. 2. Some new versions of Internet Explorer are coming with a poor version of Java. Try installing Sun Java 2 ...

Perhaps this problem is because the dial-up IP address is not available at the time of WinVNC server's launch. What I mean is, when UltraVNC is launched, it binds to available IP addresses. For example, hover your mouse over the tray icon and you should see which IP addresses UltraVNC is listening ...

A friend and I are attempting to connect to a Windows box via UltraVNC using the XDMCP companion program. We can get everything working beautifully, but the keyboard data is not received properly. Some tech notes: 1. Yes, we're using the XDMCP.EXE on the Win box. 2. We can authenticate to the Win ...
