Viewer in Listening Mode. -connect equivalent

Post by dgoadby »

I currently use TightVNC. One of my customers has no access to his router for port forwarding etc. so I set-up the server in Listening mode using HTTP port 80. To talk to his server I just start my viewer and presto!

I want to use UltraVNC but cannot find the equivalent feature except the Nat2Nat plug-in but that needs the server to initiate the request and the Nh server.

The beauty of listening mode is it is always there for me to access the remote PC without any intermediate stuff.

Is this feature available in UltraVNC ie RFM!
Regards

same of tightvnc

vncviewer -listen
but tightvnc viewer allow to start listening mode from the menu and not the ultravnc viewer
you must do it from Start .... Run
"%programfiles%\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" -listen 80

Thanks for that. It seems to work.

I tried to use the Nat2Nat process but I never got my server and viewer to connect even though I was using the same usename and passwords. I did wonder where the NH server was and if it was working... :smile:
