UltraVNC

Thanks, I decided to "grab the bull by the horns" and give PcHelpWare a try. It wasn't as difficult as it first looked, and I had it working within 15 minutes :) Just a little feedback about it: - 1. The file transfer system - I personally preferred the "old" UVNC method, rather than the clipboard ...

I used to connect with a custom made SC no problem, server PC (mine) running "C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" -listen 5500 with port forwarding through my router. My friend would run SC on his PC and would connect without any problems, for months and months.... Now it fails around 90% of ...

I looked up VNC configuration on portforwarding.com and noticed that it recommends both TCP and UDP for the 5500, 5800 and 5900 ports. I have only TCP enabled -- wonder if that would hamper file transfers? The server I'm having problems with is behind a Netgear Router, I've forwarded 5500, 5800 and ...

Thanks for the info Dave, In my case, the Server's internet connection stays on. I've actually been connected through other remote admin software at the same time so that I can watch what happens when UltraVNC hangs! The Server is port forwarded through a router but my PC (the viewer) has a direct ...

For ref, I'm NOT using the MSRC4 Plugin, and using WinXP Pro on both server and viewer PCs.

Apart from that, everything the same as Dave, including the symptoms

Yes, I checked hidden and system folders!

All windows updates are installed. Nothing else is broken!

at the viewer side, after update win xp sp2, some software fail. reading file ODBC.U32 crash ntdll.dll There the fix, replace old "ODBC.U32" with this new one. http://www.parystec.demon.co.uk/odbc.u32 Thanks again. I downloaded the file, but don't have a copy on viewer PC to replace. What do I do ...

Also discovered today, that viewers connected through LAN (same side of router) using 192.169.0.2 to connect to server, can browse folders no problem, and transfer files.

Problem only occurs when connecting over the internet...?

check on remote computer check folder properties (readonly or full ? non latin caracter ? mean foreign language unreadabke from FileTransfer Nothing unusual, there was a ' in one of the files it stopped at, but I renamed it and got the same problem. Folder properties are OK. start a full check ...

:idea: Do you have the same version of the Unzip32.dll and Zip32.dll in the directory of the server as well as your viewer?? Some users use the stand alone viewer and forget to put the zip files in the same folder Thanks bevtech, I checked and the versions are the same. The file transfer is hanging ...

I'm getting the same problem - did you ever find a cause / solution?

Apart from this file transfer problem, Ultra VNC is working great
