HELP - Failed connect to server!

[e[X]treme[Z]]

I trying to get this work so I can sent this to my remote client for trouble shooting his PC. The this is, I can get this to work, it strange..

Code: Select all

[HOST]
LAN support
-connect 192.168.100.10:5500 -noregistry

[HOST]
Localhost support
-connect 127.0.0.1:5500 -noregistry

[HOST]
WAN support
-connect xxxx.homeip.net:5500 -noregistry

At the PC where SC.exe (server) is place, I try to telnet localhost but got error "connection failed". Tried to disable Firewall but still the same.

Server = XP SP3 firewall disable

Can somebody guide me how to make it work.

SC creates a reverse connection for the server to a listening viewer.

you would be best to try to get this working on your local computer first (using "localhost support"), then try your LAN, then you need to setup port forwarding on your router (port 5500 - see portforward.com for details on your router) to your local PC, and you should be set ...

the telnet idea is a good way to check if your port forwarding is setup properly. but if you find your router in portforward.com, then you shouldn't have trouble ...

if all else fails, read through the sticky posts at the top of this forum, there is one in there with documentation (by bevtech i think)

Dammit.. Even localhost won't work.. I have no issues with the standard Ultra VNC but not with SC. When I check the port to see if its open, its says its closed. Am I doing something wrong?

Can you point me to the help file or tutorial? If there is video tutorial even better.
