Repeater documentation

[dbdataplus]

the only writeups I find on the Repeater are either for other versions that the last download -- or are written from the prospective of someone who already knows the answers.

My PC hits a firewall (port 5910) that forwards to a internal server with repeater and each PC on the NET has UVNC server installed.

So

MY PC (5900) --> {5900 - repeater - 5900) -- > PC's

The repeater dialog box has "listen server" and "listen viewer" boxes.
I'd GUESS that means listed on 5910 and listen viewer on 5900?

Locally, I connect to {some_pc} 5900 with the proxy {firewall):5910 checked?

That's exactly what I do, but the connection box just hangs.

Anyone have a better tutorial? Also, anyone have any specific instructions on running the repeater as a service?

I'm sorry -- but as helpful as all that must be to people who already understand the product ... it's nonsensical to me. The documentation talks about "listen port" and "accept port" yet the actual REPEATER has Listen Server and Listen Viewer configuration boxes.

I have VNC Veiwer installed on my computer.
I have a client with a firewall and a server behind it

The firewall is open on port 5900 and directed to the server
I have UVNC SERVER running on that server and via this simple connection, I am able to talk and manipulate this system.

Separate from that, I also opened 5910 on the firewall and directed it to the same server. I loaded the Repeater on that server and configured it to listen for Viewer on port 5910 -- I've tried Mode 1 and mode 2

ME --> 5900 --> firewall -->5900-->PC w/ vnc server listening on 5900
==== the above works fine====
ME --> 5910 --> firewall -->5910-->Same PC w/ repeater listening on 5910

On my server, I attempt to connect to some other pc inside the building (192.168.0.144) and I have the checkbox checked for proxy/repeater {outside/forwarded IP)::5910

When I press 'connect' I get "negotiating protocol and that's all.

Now - that is my setup and that is what I'm trying to do. Pointing me once again to a document that explains how to configure 'listen port" and "accept port" isn't going to help me when those terms don't exist in my version of repeater.

Is there anyone that simply knows the answer as to the error in my configuration?

This is OK.
In your requirement (I suppose you want to be able to connect to any pc inside that LAN via this repeater), you just need to enable Mode I.
Of course, enable Mode II as well is OK too.


You may reference the thread of following link, which has a description of Mode I connection, exactly as your situation. Just replace the "Listen Viewer port" from 5901 (the one used in the thread) with 5910 (your present choice)

any specific instructions on running the repeater as a service?

After you have properly configured the repeater, and satified with its operation, open a CMD prompt and goto the folder of ther repeater, and run this command:

Code: Select all

repeater.exe -install

This will install the repeater as service.
