UltraVNC

ok - i've set up port forwarding for port 5500 to my PC.

But what should actually happen?

I open VNC viewer in listen mode,
She adds new client, adding my IP,

and then what? Does a viewing window just open on mine? or do i get notified of anything? Do I have to do anything else at my end?

i have port 5900 forwarded to my PC. Does this "Listen mode" use that port too? Or do i have to add another port?

using this 'add new client' etc...

I've opened vnc viewer in listen mode.

my cousin then "adds new client" and inserts my IP address.

she says nothing then happens at her end, and nothing happens at my end.

What should we expect to happen?

ok - that makes more sense now - i'll try that...

using ipconfig, the following is shown: ethernet adapter ip address:169.254.2.### subnet mask:255.255.0.0 default gateway:(nothing) 1 ethernet adapter ip address:0.0.0.0 subnet mask:0.0.0.0 default gateway:(nothing) 2 ethernet adapter ip address:172.190.133.### Subnet mask:255.255.0.0 Default ...

Umm... whilst looking at server settings I spotted "Add New Client".

I don't really follow what this is doing though. On server, it brings up a message "Viewer: "

What does she put in there?

And what do i then do with viewer at my end?

A family member started asking me some advice re: her PC, so I thought I'd talk her through setting up UltraVNC server so i could help more... I have set up and used UltraVNC myself between my own PC's which are connected using a router, and I'm a little familiar with port fowarding from external IP ...
