UltraVNC

Just to check - does this really only affect the performance on the server? For example, if a window is scrolled on the server, is this "sent" to the viewer as a new bitmap for the window in question, or is the viewer told to scroll part of the window and given a bitmap for the new part. Maybe ...

N.B. TEXT SUBSTANTIALLY ALTERED TO CORRECT EARLIER ERRORS! This may solve the above error message in the following situation: - Client is using web browser to connect to server over http (typically using port 5800) - VNC server is running behind a NAT router - Client is on WAN side of router ...

OK the best approach is to get it to work in the simplest situation and then add additional layers of complexity! 1. Make SC a connection from the PC to itself (option "allow loopback connection") using the loopback address 127.0.0.1 2. Then do it using the PC's own IP address a.b.c.d ... often this ...

5500 is typically used for "reverse connections" - when the server makes connection to a viewer in "listen" mode. For example when using Single-Click (SC). In fact all the port numbers are configurable and you can use anything you want, as long as you are consistent and don't choose a port used by ...

Hey if it's all working LAN side then that sounds like progress! What browser and computer/OS are you using on the WAN side to try to connect to your VNC server? I've had issues with IE on Macs running OS 9 and OS X.

Bill Pls tell us which uVNC version you are using also OS version. >as you can see only get the router login I can't even get that. What URL are you using in your browser? With some routers you cant use a WAN IP or URL from inside the LAN - it doesn't do the forwarding. If you are trying from WAN ...

ok good luck you seem to have a good team helping you

also try a loopback connection on the 2nd pc

Final thoughts: What versions of server/viewer are you using? Sounds like it may be a problem with the VNC server on your 98 PC or with Windows interfering with it somehow. The vncviewer -listen thing requires you to set up a special "single-click" server to run on another PC. Better bet I would ...

http access through port 5900 shouldn't and won't work unless you have configured the server that way. When you intitally make the connection with the Viewer you should get the following connection status window in addition to the password bar: http://www.asfq80.dsl.pipex.com/dotcom/vnc-tmp/vnc ...

The first thing to get working is the loopback connection with DSM plugin disabled. I notice a couple of things. First of all in my server properties screen I have the Auto button selected under Incoming connections. This may not make any difference to your problem however. Secondly when you try to ...

Suggestions for diagnosing the problem: 1. In the server admin properties enable "allow loopback connections". Then you should be able to connect from your home pc to itself 2. Try establishing a connection from work to home without the DSM plugin. This shouldn't be a security risk ... if you have a ...

yep sounds cool thx!

tinem It's worth having a look at the UVNC menu options that hang of Start -> All Programs. Under UltraVNC Server, Remove WinVNC Service is that one the executes "C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\winvnc.exe" -remove ... the one labelled Install WinVNC turns it back on "permanently" (i.e. after next reboot ...

Sorry this is probably a silly question. I have Rel 1.0.0. To upgrade to 1.0.1 do I need to uninstall 1.0.0 first?
Presumably if I leave the video hook driver installed then that will work OK?

Thx

dyndns works fine. I used
-connect xxxxxx.homeip.net:5500 -noregistry
and works really well ... same result as using the WAN IP address.

Brilliant! The "command line" instructions on the link you posted also help. I missed them somehow. For anyone else who's interested ... Once the service has been installed, it does not run straight away - you either have to reboot or start up the service by hand. This is what the UVNC service ...

A firewall (e.g. XP) may be blocking incoming traffic.

Also can you ping one node from the other?

Is it possible to do this after installation?

Or do I need to uninstall and reinstall?

thx ...

How about you just get them to connect using their browser ...

i.e. using the UVNC web server

You could just send the client a link to click, e.g. http://your-ip-address:5800

Hi all sorry for the noobie question ... Am I right in thinking that vncviewer listens on port 5500 by default (not 5900 like the server/service) And to get it into listening mode (without encryption) I just do: vncviewer -listen ?? I guess I could try it all out at home but I don't have access to a ...
