UltraVNC

I've tried to download the source code quite a few times, waiting a few days, using a different browser, etc., but it always downloads, without reporting problems, as zero bytes. I doubt that I will attempt to make any modification so this doesn't matter to me, but thought I should report it. As ...

This is in no way a VNC problem, but is relevant to Windows machines in setups which typically use VNC. I wanted a machine used as a peer-to-peer file server and also used to run processes remotely via UltraVNC to wake whenever invoked from another machine, then go to sleep after a period of ...

You can download RemoteVNC here: [url]http://remotevnc.org[/url]

That link is dead. Now apparently

Sorry about the delay - back for the moment, but unable to make VNC connections which I had done on past occasions. My original description is probably incorrect; I suspect that someone on-site may have have run UltraVNC as a program after the server was rebooted. What is happening is that the ...

I have a problem with an Ultravnc connection which goes bad after a while and can't be reinstated by remote rebooting. Both machines running Windows XP 32-bit patched up to date, UltraVNC 1.0.8.2 as service, same version viewer. Basically the server goes unresponsive and a connection can't be made ...

While the topic is old, the subject is always of interest. The Draytek Vigor 2820 series routers (and presumably other models) have two relevant facilities: 1. You can establish a VPN from a remote machine directly to the router (this is an actual VPN connection, not pass-through to a VPN server ...

This is apparently a known issue with various remote access programs. I have enough information for a workaround. Armed with the knowledge that the Windows command netstat -n -a -p tcp will apparently display a line referencing port 5900 (if that is the one used) and the word "ESTABLISHED", I can ...

I am now of the opinion that this is a bug in uVNC 1.0.5.6 running under Windows XP (I believe Vista has different methods of resetting the inactivity timer). If a uVNC server detects that a viewer is connected it should periodically tell XP (if that is the operating system) to reset the timer (it ...

To recapitulate, I find that when I am actively working (keying, mousing) via UltraVNC on a WinXP machine set to stand by or hibernate after a time, it goes into standby/hibernation although not inactive. Strangely, if there is an UltraVNC connection, not in active use, in the taskbar, the machine ...

The setup: I'm using UltraVNC 1.0.5.6 on a couple of computers connected either by LAn or VPN (can connect from anywhere in the world!). The server machine is set to standby after a few minutes, and later to hibernate. By and large this works beautifully; the machine uses almost no power, and I can ...

I just posted this in another thread: Bit late for the original poster, but might be useful to have on record: I wrote a fairly detailed description of how to use Wake on LAN on Wikipedia. This should help. The current version of the article may have been improved; on the other hand maybe someone ...

I have had a very similar problem. I had a Win 98 machine running UltraVNC server RC18 or some other RC version. I also have a Win XP Pro machine with 1.01 viewer which works fine with Win XP UltraVNC servers of several vintages, some updated from earlier versions to 1.0.1. When I updated the Win 98 ...

Thanks for the responses to my question: on some machines on a network behind a Cisco router/firewall the SC program immediately displays the error message: "Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed.". I haven't looked at this for a while, but it's still a problem ...

In general, SC works without problems. However, on some machines on a network behind a Cisco router/firewall the SC program immediately displays the error message: "Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed.". On clicking OK, the program temrinates. I'm not sure if ...

[quote="lenisham"]Any messages displayed waiting for input put it into a hung state. Kill the process and It can then be started as a service. I have done this more than a few times.[/quote] If this happens, maybe the VNC developers (or just the UltraVNC developers) should add an "unattended" or ...

As the original poster, many thanks: > Wide open. VNC has been used by crackers ... A useful reminder. >... ssh...OpenSSH ... I have been using Draytek Vigor routers which have Virtual Private Networking (VPN) support built in (as distinct from passed through, so no machine need to run VPN server ...

Somebody commented: > Defense in depth. Simply use VNC over the VPN connection. it's encryped and quicker than a file copy. We have come full circle from my original post. Remote control over UltraVNC 18 is much less responsive over a VPN than it is over a straight connection to the remote IP ...

> OK. I thougth it would be some estimations. Anyway, it is a good solution. I don't know if a generic estimate is possible -- it can depend upon the screen resolution and nuimber of colours, the speed of your connection (which might affect U;ltraVNC's encoding), whether you are using fuuzy screen ...

Estimating bytes transferred in a VNC session: While I haven't done it myself, there are various programs which will measure data transfer speeds. I would expect to find a free program fairly easily. Then simply use VNC for a while and see how many bytes have been transferred. A Google search finds ...

This is really more of a general VNC question than UltraVNC, but I ask it here as I am using UltraVNC and there could possibly be specific issues. It is said to be risky to expose a machine running VNC to the Internet at large in case of hacking, being safer to use a Virtual Private Network or other ...

Following my posting on 16 & 23 June (latter as Guest): whether WOL works through a router, and how, depends very much on the router, as implied in a previous message. On a router-hosted VPN with a computer running on the other end of a VPN, you can wake up other machines on the LAN by running any ...

[quote="RobH"]Just have them download and install ultra into the default folder. ... That's just what I said, except that I went through it click by click as you need to know what's on screen when helping people who aren't computer-literate! You generally don't want the viewer installed (it's just ...

WOL is useful! Setup a remote machine with VNC as a service (so you can make a VNC connection at boot time before any user action is needed). I have such a machine at a remote location, with a VPN connection to the network there. Make a note of the MAC address on the machine you are interested in ...

I have had no trouble helping people with little computer experience to install VNC. I append my notes (they work for me as I know the procedure and talk people through it; the notes may need tweaking for general use). My standard installation is server only, not as service, no desktop or quick ...

Remote Printing Question: Is it possible to print through a VNC session back to the printer on your local machine where you are running the VNC Viewer from? This question is addressed in the FAQ, but I don't have posting rights there. What is perhaps the most straightforward answer is hinted at ...
