stuck

I am attempting to setup SC for use over a LAN. no router involved. I have server running as a service on my PC with std config. It works fine on loopback but from another PC on network I get nothing. They get timed out after 5 mins of trying.

I know I am new and missing something prob. simple but this is pretty urgent for me. Please help.

Looks like you had installed UVNC server and run it as service.
However, when make connection with SC, the UVNC server is not involved in anyway. All you need to do is to run the viewer in listening mode. You should open a CMD window and run this command:

Code: Select all

vncviewer.exe -listen

The viewer is waiting any SC connection not using DSMplugin
or

Code: Select all

vncviewer.exe -listen -dsmplugin Plugin_File.dsm

The viewer is waiting any SC connection using DSMplugin

You don't need the [DIRECT] option. This is for creating the SC.exe having only one connecting host (in your helpdesk.txt, you have two), such that the SC.exe (when running) will be making the connection DIRECTLY without showing the GUI.

Thanks for your help. I actually had muddled my way through most of what you say here and now have got it working.
