UltraVNC

Just an update to this issue. I have gotten the cable company engineering guys involved and they realize that while it is something wrong with the application itself, something on our end changed from when it was working to when it stopped. They are looking into what that might have been as I have ...

Did you forward the ports on your router? You don't need to log into the cable modem. Go here with Viewer open in listening mode http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and type in 5500

What are friend for if you can't bug them?

Now I am confused, does the link above setup a repeater type of SC that I can then send to users? I haven't really had time to check it out after work yet.

I could try it when I am home again. I don't really see the point though if I can't get the viewer to work as a listening device on any port.

One person on broadband reports who lives near me tried and gets the same error. I posted to the Optimum support tech forum but no answer as yet. If I don't hear back I guess I will have to give up on SC as I see other folks here have had the same error and some haven't found a fix. Thanks for all ...

I tried a bunch, I still get error from viewer. The port shows as open and not blocked but the viewer throws error. But with the server running I can check the ports it uses(5800 and 5900) and they show as open and no errors. If I close server, reconfig router to machine IP and test 5800 or 5900 I ...

Ok I think it's my ISP although canyouseeme says it's not blocking the port 5500, I don't know where else to look. I installed to laptop, changed the port forwarding to that IP address and voila, same error on a freshly installed VNC. So I shut everything down and took the router out of the mix ...

I can try tonight on my laptop and see if it's somehow my LAN. Thanks for helping. Barb Also I am at work but this is bugging me. I am trying to think of what could of stepped on the program. I had Dameware on and removed it is the only thing I can think of in anyway related that might possibly have ...

No, and I just double checked to be sure. I also checked the event log, caused the error and checked the event log again. I can't find anything except the error message that comes up when I check the listening port.

Not there, just checked. And it happens on a fresh boot.

Same SC as before. But that aside, I can not even check a port that the viewer is listening on anymore, I launched it with the default and also tried launching it using a different port which I forwarded. The ports show as open on canyouseeme but the viewer throws that error. So it's more of a ...

IP did not change and I restarted when this first occurred, actually this happened two weeks ago and just decided to post. I tried turning of AV, turned off firewall/ ICS service, tried running regmon and filemon to see if I could pinpoint what was happening. I don't run any firewalls save what is ...

I had setup an SC and it was working fine. I had used it with several different people with no issues. Then I tried to help someone and it did nothing. I went to canyouseeme to check port 5500 and got the error "connection failed, error reading protocol version" Nothing changed on my computer that I ...
