SC + Repeater Confusion/Questions

Post by rkokoski »

I've been playing around with the SC (1) and building my custom .exe to pass out. I am coding the helpdesk.txt file for an ID so I can use a repeater. The line in the code is.

[HOST]
FDTServer ID-1234
-ID -1234 -connect 10.0.1.10:5500 -noregistry

I was having problems having the SC connect to the repeater because I configured the repeater to "only allow ID" and "1234" in the list then I noticed something from the repeater logs.

ID refused 4666

When I took off the restriction the SC could connect with the repeater but it appears it is using ID 4666. What is going on here? Where did 4666 even come from? Also, I am using SC (1) and I have been reading about SCII and SCIII but don't know if I should be using them instead. I'm confused.

Can someone point me to a good download for the latest version of the repeater and the SC file list. Also what is the best way to compile the SC .exe? I have found a website and maybe that is my problem.

Thanks!

The syntax is incorrect. It should be:

-ID 1234 -connect 10.0.1.10:5500 -noregistry

While I agree with you I am finding that "partially" correct. I figured out how it got to 4666 on the repeater. 4666 = 5900-1234. Because I use "-1234" it took the 5900 then subtracted 1234 giving me 4666. Thus the SC was trying to connect to the repeater using ID 4666.

I did correct the helpdesk.txt to state "1234" and not "-1234" and then it connects as ID:1234 perfectly BUT if I use an ID of "1" (not "0001") it again goes to 5900+1 so I get an ID:5901.

Why does it sometimes do some type of 5900+- offset and sometimes take the static number I put in? Does the ID need to be in a specific 4 digit format? This is very confusing.

Thanks for the help!

bug from vncviewer:
you are right
just tried now, it connect to port 5901


ID:1
(this wrong use port 5901 !!!! instead match ID 1)

sorry, no solution except work around use bigger number with 3 digit or more.

helpdesk.txt for SC
[HOST]
internet connexion
-ID 1 -connect 10.0.1.10:5500 -noregistry

I notice this issue too.

I don't know why this happen, It looks like that the UVNC using the same code of Display Port/Number to handle the ID.

That is: for any number less than 99, it will add it with the 5900.
