How do I establish a VNC connection over a VPN. The VPN is connected, but when I try to establish a VNC connection in either direction, I get the message "failed to connect to server". HELP??? Can you ping the name or IP address of the computer(s) you are trying to connect to? One thing I've seen ...

OK. What share are you mapping to? Have you tried C$? By default, if I understand correctly, Windows 2003 shares are Read-only when created. I believe that FastPush looks for "c:\program files", but it has been updated to look for certain localized directory names. Hey, if this doesn't work, then I ...

So when you map a drive as a remote admin, then run FastPush, do you still get the error 53?

should not be a problem, but how do i do tt and what status must comp be in ? I just reread your message, but I'll leave my original quote below. To map a drive, go into Explorer, then click Tools and Map Network Drive. The rest should be self explanatory. What is "tt"? You need to be able to map a ...

I am very new to this fastpush thingy, really need to to it to work. got the ip of my other mc, but simply cant get it to install got this error 53, wat is it abt. In order to use FastPush you have to be able to authenticate via SMB, either with NetBIOS or MS-DS. Error 53 means basically that you ...

Thanks...i did try using winvnc but i noticed that the session is started immeditely instead of being prompted like the sc version OK. I'm confused. Earlier you said you wanted an immediate connection. :| Oh, well. Hopefully you have enough options now. You may even want to use more than one of ...

thanks for that info...is it possible to be able to select the connection in the command prompt...what if i more then one connection...is it possible to select one SC isn't designed for command-line options. There is a variant here that can take IP parameters in an input box. [post=17784][/post ...

using sc.exe should sc.exe -connect publicip:5500 work? I wish this to start the session immeditely but it opens the standard dialog box. Are you creating SC using the directions on the link I provided? In the HelpDesk.txt file you should have some lines at the top such as: [HOST] Internet support ...

I may have misunderstood your question, but I think UltraVNC SC is what you're looking for.

Do you know what ports are allowed outbound through the firewall? The default port needed would be 5500.

I'm not familiar with Evnc, but if the file names are the same it seems one could simply stop the VNC service copy the new files to the same place and then restart the service. I did some reasearch which brought me back to UVNC. http://doc.uvnc.net/faq.html It looks like UVNC and ESVNC are very ...

On the XP machines I have no idea where to start to do this. ANY help would be appreciated. I'm not familiar with Evnc, but if the file names are the same it seems one could simply stop the VNC service copy the new files to the same place and then restart the service. I have to run now, but could ...

While messing around with trying to get VNC installed I decided to try the task scheduler for fun. We were under the impression that it would't function properly in there either, but I said what the heck and tried anyway. It worked! I'm now wondering how or why we were thinking that that didn't ...

Well that kinda worked but now it just sits and tries how should i have My server set up? I have the Win VNC Server running on my computer. Server? You actually need to be running the Viewer on your computer. Use the "/listen" switch, or for encryption this is what I use: vncviewer.exe /dsmplugin ...

There needs to be IP addresses or hostnames in the HOSTS sections.

I do have VPN access to our network. The main problem that we were having is rebooting servers with remote desktop. Several have programs that need started up manually after rebooting. Are only option is to leave a remote desktop session logged in with the started program running. Since you have ...

I have a question. How do I set up a a standalone version when I don't know what the IP will be? I have a couple hundred users on DHCP, so I need to know how to make it listen on whatever the user's remote IP address is. Is there a comprehensive document on this anywhere? With SC you don't need to ...

My problem seems to be that the service isn't starting up, nor is the box that pops up asking to set up the default password working when I install it via remote desktop. Do you have to pyhsically be in front of the machine to install VNC? You are probably not getting prompted for a password ...

pgmoney:

Thank you very much for this information. I'll post it as a feature request, though it isn't a hight priority.

Cheers,

Can't it prompt the client for one each time he wants to connect? And please don't mention my-ip.com, etc. - I don't want to do it... This is unfortunate. Dynamic DNS can be very handy. From my cell phone (Treo 650) I can remotely power on my home PC, VNC into it, and then shut it back down. What I ...

I'm not a developer, though I write a lot of admin scripts, but I'd think if the domain was not specified then the domain of the current user could be attempted. I don't know what the API would be, but in here is one way to do it in VBscript. (Yes, it is in bad form :oops: ) wscript.echo WScript ...

I've been using the viewer without the flasher socket for a long time now with no obvious side effects... other than closing a security hole. Making it an option is a good idea. Yes, it can also avoid some confusion with 'interesting' error messages. The flasher socket is not a well known feature ...

This seems to be a solution.

I did some more goofball testing. :-D Setting the viewer to 55 caused the flasher to use 65491. ??? Using port 100 set flasher to 3853. ? Using 101 set flasher to port 1. I then used 545, knowing that my machine was already listening on 445 and I got the following: Error Creating listening daemon ...

It is great that you got it working. It looks like Blade Runner uses 5400, 5401 and 5402. This actually makes sense because the Viewer in listen mode opens up port 5500 and 5400 by default. The port 5400 feature is rarely used anymore. Telnetting into that port and then hitting enter will flash the ...

Zone Alarm is probably blocking the incoming connection. Try disabling it for the test. Remember that with SC the server connects into the client.

Do you have a software firewall on the laptop?

Try running "vncviewer /listen".

SC is scalable enough to be used for IT departments that provide remote support, but it can also be very handy for helping out friends. Of all the remote options I've tried (Request Assistance, Remote Desktop, SSH, 'regular' VNC, even NetMeeting and others). SC is the simplest for the remote user ...

Where is the program itself? The URL in step 7 creates the program automatically. Can I connect to them with VNC Viewer if I have only their IP address? Do I need their computer "name" and password also? What if they don't have a computer password? It's all questions, and so far the UltraVNC site ...
