1.0.2->1.0.8.2: viewer won't connect to repeater automati

Post by carlo1234 »

Win XP SP3 / ultravnc 1.0.8.2

On the old version 1.0.2 I used until now, I used the following cmdline

vncviewer /listen /dsmplugin MSRC4Plugin.dsm /proxy x.x.x.x ID::123

and the viewer would automatically connect to the repeater waiting for the remote end to connect.

Updated to 1.0.8.2 and the same cmdline will cause the viewer to iconify in the notification area. To connect to the repeater I have to click on it so that the viewer window open up, and then click "connect".

Is there a way to preserve the old behavior?

I tried looking at the documentation
http://www.uvnc.com/install/cmdline.html
but couldn't find anything relevant.

I tried using the "new" (where is documented?) syntax:
vncviewer.exe -connect ID:123 -proxy x.x.x.x -dsmplugin MSRC4Plugin.dsm -listen

but get to the same point, the viewer won't connect to the repeater, I have to click the icon, and then click "connect"

Can you help me?

Thanks.

The "new" cmdline I tried to use is copied from here
[topic=16712][/topic]

%programfiles%\ultravnc\vncviewer.exe -autoreconnect -connect ID:1234 -proxy repeaterhost:5901 -quickoption 3 -dsmplugin SecureVNCPlugin.dsm -listen

I tried with or without "-autoreconnect" and "-quickoption 3"

If this is wrong, where can I find a current documentation for the vncviewer cmdline?

Is using "/option" or "-option" the same or should I try every option both way?

Thanks!

%programfiles%\ultravnc\vncviewer.exe -proxy repeaterhost:5901 -connect ID:1234 -quickoption 3 -dsmplugin SecureVNCPlugin.dsm

vncviewer.exe" -proxy repeaterhost:5901 -connect ID:1234 -dsmplugin filename.dsm

Ok, I see I can use the same old command line, I have just to take "/listen" out, as you said, and it will connect to the repeater straight away.

Thanks!.
