Using UVNC work like Remote Anything or Access (Routers)

Post by kaf4208 »

:| Help! I am new to UNVC, so please excuse me if an answer to this question has already been posted. Just point me in the right direction...

Before I ask my question,please let me set the stage...
The other remote access applications out there have a way of working so that my "client's" computers are always listening. WITHOUT having to open a port on their router. They use a "DS" server that can be set up on any other computer. Then they use a service like NOIP.com or DYNDNS.com to resolve to that machine's "outside" ip address through "name resolution". So I usually set up another machine behind my router and open a port to that machine and it acts as my DS server. Then all I have to do is send my clients a small "slave" or "server" application to run at startup. Then they are always listening for my authorized connection through the "DS" server. The result is no awkward router port forwarding and such for my less knowledgable clients.

Here's the question... How can I do the same thing with UVNC ??? I'd like to be able to send my clients a small exe(zipped) to open and run that will always run once installed and allow me to connect "at will" to service their PC's whenever I want. Please provide me with step-by-step instructions. I'm not very good without them... please help! :o

well the at will connection whenever you want is not possible with Single Click or Pchelpware. They require the customer to start the connection


UVNC can be configured as a service for you to connect when ever you want however you would need to open ports and forward ports in routers etc.



If you can life with just sending your customers an exe file and they have to start it check out www.pchelpware.com

It has an online manual along with a step by step as well as a topic on the forum..:)

:roll: I could do that with SC. That's not what I want. All the items are there... I can see that... I just want to talk to someone who has done it before...

Since my first post I've gotten a prelimenary setup to work. Here it is. I am just hoping to get the step-by-step from someone else so I didn't have to re-ivent the wheel.

Here's what I figured out so far:
1. open a port on a 2nd machine with a static ip - port xxxx.
2. Create a .bat file with the following lines.
cd "C:\Program Files\UltraVNC"
rem "C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\winvnc.exe"
winvnc -autoreconnect -connect tech11.somedomain.net::xxxx
3. Install winuvnc.exe as a service on the machine to be remotely controlled.
4. or place the winuvnc.exe file in the startup group.
5. place a shortcut to the .bat file in the startup group.
6. Have the remote computer reboot.
7. use a service like noip.com and set up a dns for the statically addresed pc and the port you opened up before.
8. Then put the following info on the "target" line for the vncviewer.exe shortcut...
"C:\Program Files\UltraVNC2\vncviewer.exe -listen xxxx
9. Then just double-click the icon to take "at will" control of the remote pc.

BUT ISN'T THERE AN EASIER WAY??? :|

could use pchelpware if you wanted to but both ways do take a little effort on your part.
