I don't know what it is, but UltraVNC and the repeater are driving me crazy. I have Viewer .17, WinVnc .17, I sure hope it is repeater v2 (It does use port 5500 and 5900). I had some issues with the SF.net downloads, mostly due to some of the downloads had mixed versions like Viewer .15 and WinVnc .16 but I finally got that resolved by downloading and putting them together (the pain was the WinVNC server did not have the ID box in the versions I downloaded earlier).
My main problem is that I cannot get a reverse connection established using the repeater, I can get it to work by bypassing the repeater option and just starting the reverse connection directly. I am using the Proxy/Repeater option in the Viewer with ID:1 (tried others with no luck) and the repeater set to 10.8.5.92. On the WinVNC server end, I am typing the address of the repeater in the host box 10.8.5.92, and I am typing 1 for the ID number. I have tried starting the Viewer before WinVNC and vice-versa, but with no luck.
Thank you,
Norman

It does....
1) Repeater need to be outsite the firewall or have both ports (5900 and 5500) forwarded.
Viewer connect NORMAL, initiate connection (not in listen mode)
Server connect REVERSE , initiate connection
Repeater accept the 2 connections and act as a relay.
A:Internal PC 10.10.10.10, viewer
B:repeater (official ipadress) 154.20.49.12
C:Internal PC 192.168.1.1,server
It does not matter what you start first, server or viewer.
Watch the dos window, for debug info.
1) Start server
2) Add new client
3) hostname=154.20.49.12 (default 5500)
ID=ID:1 (ID followed by : followed by 1)
You should see the server entering the repeater ,debug info(dos box repeater)
4)Start viewer in normal mode
5) vnc server=ID:1
proxy/repeater=154.20.49.12 (default 5900)
You should see the viewer entering the repeater , debug info
It was working..could be some code was broken, but at least you should see the server or viewer in the repetaer window.

Hi Rudi,
I have configured the server/client/repeater as you describe, But I cannot get it working.
When I start the client and connect to VNC server ID:1 with proxy/repeater: 192.168.15.11, I see the connection coming in the repeater as follows:
UltraVnc> socket() initialized
UltraVnc> bind() succeded to port 5900
UltraVnc> listen() succeded
UltraVnc> Waiting for connection ...
UltraVnc> accept() connection
UltraVnc> Server ID port 123456
UltraVnc> resolving host by name: ID
UltraVnc> failed to resolve locally.
ERROR: can't resolve hostname: ID
UltraVnc> Unable to connect to destination host, errno=11001
UltraVnc> Waiting for connection ...
What should I do?

Hi guest,
I have figured it out. you need another version of the repeater. Especially the one of RC16
go to http://download.ultravnc.net. Just beneath the location where you can download RC18, you click on [View ALL Project Files]. Then, beneath RC16, you will find a seperate download for the repeater. This is the one you need.

YOUR ARE CORRECT!!!!!
I am the guest from earlier.
The older version (The one under RC16) of the repeater works great just like you said!
I am very glad that this solved my problem. I hope in the future that this product is improved because it certainly will simplify my life as an offsite computer sales support person!!!
GREAT WORK!!!!
