win7 x64 custom ports impossible

[ShadowZone]

i'm trying for a while to use a different port for uvnc than the defaults of 5900 and 5800 (let's say 6999 and 6899)
however: it doesn't matter, what port i enter, it never works. the radio button jumps up to "display" after changing the port and the field suddenly shows the last two digits of my custom port (in our example from above 99)...
the effect: no connection on those ports possible (and yes, i forward them with my router)

doesn't matter with what kind of client or machine i want to connect to my server - defaults ports is all i can use - which i personally regard as a security risk and therefore don't want to do

i'm using uvnc 1.0.8.2 on win7 professional 64bit

any ideas or suggestions?

known bug of old uvnc fixed long time ago,
are you sure you are really updated the uvnc ?

[ShadowZone]

absolutely.
it's my first uvnc installation ever.
downloaded the full setup for x64 from here:
http://www.uvnc.com/download/1082/1082full.html

interesting that a known bug is still there (?)
how can i fix or circumvent it?


EDIT: also, every time i change something in the admin properties, the UAC of win7 asks for confirmation... kind of annoying

quit ultravnc
right click on uvnc_settings.exe and select left click run as administrator (this required, otherwise, your settings would never saved)

unrelated to ultravnc ! this new security function of vista/7 !
if annoying, you can down grade your security of UAC at control panel

nope, doesn't work either - still have to stick to the default ports.
and guess what: some strange IP just tried to make a connection... great!
--> i want my custom ports

i know what UAC is, just thought there is a way to make exceptions like with the windows firewall

> --> i want my custom ports

close ultravnc server or stop uvnc_service
right click on notepad.exe and select left click run as administrator (this required even you are computer administrator, otherwise, your settings can't be saved to same name (no right access)
File... Open %programfiles%\ultravnc.ini

AutoPortSelect=1 <--- change value to 0
PortNumber=0 <-- change value 5900 default
HTTPPortNumber=0 <-- change value 5800 default

close notepad and click save
restart ultravnc server or start uvnc_service
