is it possible to start two instances of ultra vnc?

i need this because the new version requieres recent java version for the java interface.

possible as user application
winvnc -multi

(not possible as service system , winvnc -multi had no effect)

is possible to start to different versions(1.0.0 - RC18 - which works with old java and 1.0.1 which requires recent java version) of ultravnc on the same machine?

I'm not tried it
rename one winvnc18.exe port 5900 and another winvnc101.exe port 5901

doesn't work with just rename...

No rename needed

winvnc.exe (5900)
winvnc.exe -multi (5901)

-multi:
ignore the "multiple instance check"
and use port+1

Take care...possible will not work with driver.
Both versions use same registry, you can not set individual settings.

Hrmmm. I'm missing something. I have 1.01 installed on a machine. It connects just fine. I also have multiple other pcs on my lan, and unfortunatly my firewall (NAT) doesnt support forwarding of an external port of say, 7000 to anything other than internal port 7000. So, I currently have it setup to forward to my server. I understand I can connnect to the server, then turn around and connect to my workstation, but what I'd really like to do is have 2 instances of VNC running, one on the standard port, and one on some other port. I opened a command prompt and did winvnc -multi, (in the proper directory of course) but when I tried to connect (even internally at this point) on port 5901, nada. So, I'm confused. I also think that it would be great if the -multi parameter could have a parameter following it, like -multi 7000, to start a new instance on port 7000. That way, I could port fwd port 7000 to the server, 7001 to my workstation, 7002 to another wkst, etc etc.

Any thoughts or help?

If you start -multi you find the current used port in the preoperties

CarlRodabaugh,

did you forget ?

from vnviewer
you need to use double colons for connect to a non standard port
othervise would fail

standard port (acceptable)
CarlRodabaugh:5900
CarlRodabaugh:5901

or

standard display (display 1-99 allowed only for port 5900 to 5999)
CarlRodabaugh:0 (mean port 5900)
CarlRodabaugh:1 (mean port 5901)

or

non standard port
CarlRodabaugh::7000
CarlRodabaugh::7001

I got the same problem, but I have figured it out how to make it works. I think that your first server is run in service mode so that the second server has problem to start in user mode.
In such case, you could start the second server as:

winvnc.exe -multi -fus

It works very well for me and I can now use two computers to remote my dual monitors desktop.
