SC - Toggle Between Server/Viewer Listen Mode?

[ZzBloopzZ]

I use SC on occasion to fix family members & friends computers. It works great! However, I have to do the following to my local machine in order for the client using SC to connect:

1. Remove WinVNC Service
2. Run UltraVNC Viewer (Listen Mode)
3. Once done with client... Close UltraVNC Viewer (Listen Mode)
4. Install WinVNC Service

It is easy to do but can be a annoying. Is there anyway to have both Server & View Listen Mode to run at the same time? This way I can connect to that PC at anytime, and then if I need to support someone via SC I don't have to change anything.

I am using Windows XP Pro and the latest UltraVNC v1.0.4 RC14.

Thanks!

i think there a miss understanding

so you need to forward 2 ports on your home router 5500 + 5900 to your computer hosting vncviewer + winvnc

vncviewer -listen (by default listen on port 5500 without number)
winvnc listen by default on port 5900
so, normally you won't need to stop uvnc_service
as well, you can add to startup group then shortcut of vncviewer listening

Start... All Programs... UltraVNC... UltraVNC viewer... Run UltraVNC Viewer (listen Mode) copy to startup group

the SC should initiate an outgoing connection to your home router forward port 5500 instead of 5900 to your vncviewer listening port 5500

Ah! I didn't even think about using 2 different ports for each, because it said that "Another instance is already running." So based on that I thought you simply can't have both on at the same time.

Great... I will change the port for the Listen Server.

Thank you soo much!

don't forget to change your SC and send the updated to all.

[HOST]
-connect hostname.domain.tld::5500 -noregistry
