Repeater problems (yes, I read the FAQ)

[Hitokiri]

First off, I'd like to say that the repeater is a great idea. Knowing this, I would also like to say that I might very well be semi retarded due to the fact that I cant get it working.

Ok, we are a small workgroup of 10 computers.
Heres my setup:

port 5901, 5900 and 5500 are forwarded to my computers ip (repeater server)

On top of that, I DMZ'ed my computer as well.
I have the ultravnc server and the repeater both on the same computer for now.

I have the repeater set to modes I and II

When I connect I use the DHCP address in the VNC server box (192.168.x.x) and for the proxy, I use the main IP and port XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:5901

I cannot connect and when I monitor the repeater window, I see this.
Waiting for connection ...
accept() connection
connecting to 192.168.1.108:5900
connect() failed.
Unable to connect to destination host, errno=10061
Waiting for Viewer connection ...

What did I do wrong?

If the repeater settings are to be altered...

start... run... cmd
cmd> cd\program files\UltraVNC
cmd> sc stop ultravnc_repeater
cmd> del settings.txt
cmd> sc start ultravnc_repeater

right click on systray repeater... Settings .. make the change ... Save
right click on systray repeater... Exit

back to cmd
cmd> sc start ultravnc_repeater

actually, i did use the updated repeater.

But i think the vnc server just glitched up. It worked after I restarted.

Now I have another problem though. I was able to get into one computer just fine. But my main computer (the one with the repeater) freezes when I connect.

I connect, and the screen just stops. I'm able to disconnect and reconnect. But it freezes after 1 sec.

port 5901, 5900 and 5500 are forwarded to my computers ip (repeater server)

only 2 ports are needed to be forwarded.
5901 and 5500

• then repeater mode I forward internally to every vnc_host on port or display
• then repeater mode II forward internally to every vnc_host on exclusiv port 5900
  Restrict access server port: 0 is needed for mode II

I connect, and the screen just stops. I'm able to disconnect and reconnect. But it freezes after 1 sec.

sticky Don't forget RC version server/viewer and their OS
did you try vncviewer 1.0.1 and winvnc 1.0.1 ?

please read again doc UltraVNC Repeater

I am using the lastest of each version (viewer, server and repeater)
I'm on winxp pro.

I have 2 computers set up. My main one and the accountants.

It works PERFECTLY for the accountant. Just freezes up on mine. I wonder if I just need to restart it.

I'm having a similar situation:

Repeater Host is WIn2000 server.
My computer is WinXP.
Have setup the repeater and connections from my office pc to a couple of other sites, so I'm familiar to this.

Only ports being forwarded are:

5901 and 5500 -> Win2K server above
5800 is forwarded to another machine

attempt to connect to the win2k server itself. YES loopback is on.

VNC Server is Win2K server name (have also tried IP)
Proxy/Repeater is checked, hostname:5901

When I click connect the VNC server is correct hostname (internet address)
Port is 5901
Status freezes at Negotiate Protocol Version.

VNC repeater log shows:
socket() initialized
bind() succeded to port 5901
listen() succeded
socket() initialized
bind() succeded to port 5500
listen() succeded
accept() connection
Unable to connect to destination host, errno=10057

Any help would be most appreciated!

Unable to connect to destination host, errno=10057

WSAENOTCONN 10057 Socket is not connected.

viewer mode II
id: (lowercase) fail, unknown error can happen like above
ID: (upercase) success

winvnc with repeater mode II (with ID:number usage)
port 5900 only accepted for every vnc_server

winvnc with repeater mode I
port other than 5900 accepted

I'm not sure what your're saying. Sorry to be so obtuse.

I'm using the Version II of the repeater as a service. info I sent was from the logfile of said viewer.

This is exactly the same configuration I have at another site which is working perfectly.

Your continued help is most appreciated.

I'm using the Version II of the repeater as a service. info I sent was from the logfile of said viewer.

is not a version I or II but a mode I and II
actual release is Repeater 1.1.0.4

WSAENOTCONN 10057 Socket is not connected

Question/Problem: Socket is not connected.

Answer/Solution: A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket) no address was supplied.
