UltraVNC

Success! I got a professional to come to the house. He advised me that 1) we needed to forward ports on the modem and also the router & 2) that I should have been forwarding from the modem to 10.0.0.1 (incoming port for the router) not 192.168.1.101 (IP address of the router). What I think he means ...

When you install the server, those "dots" automatically appear by default - there currently is no option to "Show Password in Plain Text". I'm yet to determine what the default is :cry: - my guess is ""Password". You should overwrite them with your new password, then click "Apply".

I have a wifi'd laptop on the same network. It's the one running PortQuery, and I've also loaded the viewer and plugin to a usb memory stick that I run from that laptop. Re Port 5500, I hadn't spotted it's for SC & PCHelpware, but I'll keep it because I've also loaded a SC exe to my website. When I ...

I'm going a little mad - please help! :oops: My setup is a SpeedTouch 536 v6, Linksys BEFSX41 Software 1.52.15, XPP and running RC6 as a service with MSRC4Plugin_NoReg.dsm. I've also forwarded ports 5500 + 5800 + 5900 (all TCP) to my pc with IP 192.168.1.100. I also has a DynDNS name that's tracked ...

Me again ...! I felt a little guilty asking the above question, so worked a little harder on UltraVNC. I've got my dynalias to work now, port forwarding too thru my firewall, and I also uploaded the vncviewer.exe to my website, so I can use that rather than a browser "http://myname.dynalias.net:5800 ...

Hello Everyone, I want remote access to my XP PC - it's not a server. I am happy to leave it running for a week or so, and, of course, it will go to sleep, so I'll need to be able to wake it up - remotely. What I want, I think, is for it to run a server, preferable as a service, that I can access ...

May I politely suggest that if you cannot set it up after reading all the documentation, you may be better suited using Windows Remote Control.
Yes, PcHelpWare may seem a bit tricky, but have a go - that's the only way you will learn!

Just like "californiajeff", I too have installed FileZilla. It politely asks if you wish to use the registry or an xml file. This is great for installing onto a USB Memory Stick/USB Key(whatever these things are called). I installed the whole program onto a USB device, told it to use an xml file ...

All you will need is a client that gives your PC a name (look up "NoIP.com" or "DynDNS.com"). Once you have given your PC a name like "abcd.homeip.net", put that address into your helpdesk.txt. Remember that if running through a router, you will need to forward a port to your machine of choice. :)

I apologise for the dumb question but I have to ask ... :oops: ...What's the main difference between your Remote Support and SCIII? I've managed to get SC up and running, so now I can assist my aunt from home. I have to now consider trialling SCIII with the repeater to get out through our company's ...

If you just delete [Textbutton] and any text just below it within Helpdesk.txt and then create the .exe file, this will prevent a "Help" button from appearing on your SC.exe

Dear SCers, Nothing like answering your own question! :P In the left-hand side of my SC, there are listed the words "Internet support". I had incorrectly understood that a list of IP addresses would appear and I would then click on the appropriate one. I have been vainly clicking on the blank space ...

Dear GoatyGoat,
Is "Thinstall" (http://www.thinstall.com) the software you are thinking about??

Hello there!

When I run the .exe, should there be any ip addresses listed in the box on the left-hand side to select? My .exe only shows .."Internet support" ..

Perhaps you wonderful developers could look at x2vnc @

I have not tried it yet, but perhaps this could do what some of people desire!

Thanks guys,

This thread has been really helpful! But how's this for a dumb question - if I want to speed up the refresh rate on my viewer as I help a third party, do I install the separate video driver on the server end (them) or at the viewer end (me) ?

Cannot throw any light on Carbon Copy, but, as a suggestion, has the 98 machine ever had ZoneAlarm installed? If so, perhaps do a complete removal of that software.

You have not specified which operating system you are running, but for Win98, for example, the program will probably have installed itself in c:\program files\UltraVNC. Inside that directory there is an Uninstall Application called "unins000.exe". Run that first. You could probably manually delete ...

You may just have a conflict with ZoneAlarm. I run a small home network with 3 computers behind a Netgear router. All could ping and UltraVNC each other, as server and viewer, except one stubborn Win98 machine would not respond to inbound pings. I had installed then removed ZoneAlarm over 2 years ...
