Any dialup connection solutions available?

I have been using UltraVNC to get rid of PC Anywhere on many machines and I am happy with the results so far. However, I still have a few machines that I can not get rid of PC Anywhere since I have to access those machines via Dialup (i.e. I dial into them). Does anybody know of a way or a solution I could use to dial into those machines to use UltraVNC or is this just not possible with UltraVNC right now?

Since Windows 98, DialupServer is provided within operating system. Hovever, it may be kept turned on or off, it is not easy to turn it on occassionaly. If you have spare phne line you may set it up to answer all calls and it will do the job for you.

Thanks for the reply Pedja!

I was not even aware of the Dialup server on windows. Do you know how I would set that up?

Just get a free dial up connection and connect them to the internet and then connect using the sc client or something. THe problem with dial up is the ip changes with each logon pretty much.

Well, the problem I have is I need to connect into these computers using dialup when nobody is on the other side. So having them connect for me is not an option.

Hi Everybody

I have the same issue.

I have to call in on several projects using a "modem to modem" connection.
The pc's or on a secured network without an Internet connection. So the only option the client wants is the one by modem (ISDN to ISDN)
I should have the possibility to make a connection (take over the desktop) to the pc 24h/24h (even when there's no one at the clients office)This only seems to work with PCAnywhere or Laplink,....

Once that I have made a connection (using PCAnywhere) I use ultravnc on the clients LAN to take over other clients.

The question: Does anyone know if this (analogue modem-to-modem) going to be added in the future in Ultravnc. It would be great so I could get rid of PCAnywhere. Or does anyone know a free alternative for PCAnywhere or Laplink

Thx in advance
Teejai

Start New Connection Wizard (on XP) to create new modem conection and use option Setup an advanced connection, go next, chose Accept incoming connections, and follow the procedure...

I do not recall weel how it was set in Win 98 but I think, in Network Neighbourhood properties, menu Advanced...

So, I understand how you can setup XP to accept incoming connections. Now my dilemma is what do I put in for the ip address to make UltraVNC connect to the server on the machine I am dialed into?

You should not even try connecting to internet machines that have never been connected to it: xp/2000 have a lot of remotely exploits and win98 has share vunlerabilities etc you should avoid connecting them to internet at all costs unless you're sure they're updated. btw I think that win98 remote access works like a cable2cable connection you should be able to detect the remote computer by enabling netbios on both the connections (or maybe there's a way to set up a static ip I don't remember).

Hi,

I have the same problem, I can get a remote connection to the incoming dial-up and I get a sensible IP address - but that's it!

I can't ping the host, or VNC to it.

Does anyone know how to do this.

It's a bit tricky for me to debug my problem, the host machine is sitting on a phone line in one country, and I'm about 800 miles away. There's not normally anyone sitting at the remote (host) machine and it is only visited once in a while.

solution:

SuperTurtle wrote: Actually, you should be able to do this. Windows supports a dial up connection, and after you connect, that computer is connected vi an ip/network connection. Printers, files, and directories can be browsed.

So, you simply need to setup the modem, and allow dialup networking to function. I not done this,. but it is certainly possible, and is built into windows. Once you connect, you can then use any ip based software..inclucing vnc.

Do note, that you are running windows xp (professional..not home) at the work/cnc machine, then you can also use the windows built in remote desktop, and not have to use VNC at all.

So, the modem setup, and dial-up network is all part of windows, and you donï¿½t need to any additional software here.

IF the box at work is windows xp home edition, then NVC will help, but as far as I know, home edition does include and supports dial-up networkingï¿½

vnc server (winvnc)
require set and remember private and static IP address to your TCP/IP protocol
1. set and run allow remote dial-in to your windows remote connections.
2. run vnc server as application or set vnc server as service (whatever you prefer)

vnc client (vncviewer)
require tcp/ip protocol set and running as private IP subnet
1. dial modem direct number to remote computer modem waiting incoming call.
2. run vncviewer and input IP address at vnc server entry:

UltraVNC
