Help with automatic connetion

[dror]

Hi,
I'm new here, and I'm sorry if my question is trivial.

I'm working with ultraVNC 1.0.4.

I have tried to establish an automatic viewer-server connection using command line and failed to.

My configuration is: Two PCs, running XP, connected to each other directly.
I want that upon load, one of them will be the server and the other the viewer, automatically.
I wrote the following batch commands, and connected the batches to the startup:

::::: In the server:
cd "c:\program files\ultravnc\"
START "winvnc" winvnc -run
START "winvnc" winvnc -connect 11.1.1.1::5900

:::: In the viewer:
cd "c:\program files\ultravnc\"
START "vncViewer" vncviewer -listen 5900 -password 111111

Unfortunately, the application starts, but no connection established. If I'm manually choosing "Add new client" from the WinVNC, it works just fine.

Hope you can help,
Thanks, Dror

For some unknown reason, you can't call the parameters from the command line when using a batch file.

To get around this, make a shortcut of the exe, and add the parameters to this. Modify the batch so that it starts the shortcut (for example, vnc.lnk), which should do the trick.

I will suggest you make the following change:

1. Download the UVNC 1.0.5 to replace the 1.0.4
2. Change the batch command at server pc to:
　　cd "c:\program files\ultravnc\"
　　START "winvnc" winvnc -run
　　PING xx.xx.xx.xx -n 1 -w 4000 >NUL
　　START "winvnc" winvnc -autoreconnect -connect 11.1.1.1:5900

　　where xx.xx.xx.xx must be a non-reachable (invalid) ip. This is used for delay purpose.

3. At viewer pc, you can use the batch as is. However, the password option is useless in this case, so you can simplify it as:
　　START "vncViewer" vncviewer -listen 5900

Thank you !

Installing version 1.0.5 solved the problem and it now works directly from the command line!
