How do I set viewer port?

Post by joe avarage »

I have two computers at home that I want to watch
Both are running UVNC. Call then CompA (192.168.0.200) and CompB (192.168.0.210).

I've set my router so that it has router directs 5900 to CompA (192.168.0.200) and 5800 to CompB (192.168.0.210).

I reach the computers via dyndns server. I have two host accounts to corresponding computers. They both point to my router.

The problem is that when I launch UVNC viewer it allways uses port 5900 and shows CompA. I would like to view CompB also.

What am I doing wrong? I sthis possble anyway?

1. Since both DNS names point to the SAME IP address, you don't really need them both, but it doesn't hurt either.

2. You just need to specify the nonstandard port when connecting, that's all. Just put ::portnumber after the host, e.g., yourfirstpc.example.com::5900 and yoursecondpc.example.com::5800

3. Make sure those servers are actually LISTENING on those ports. You would have to have CHANGED your CompB -- port 5800 is traditionally the mini web server port for Java web based VNC access, NOT the regular VNC client access.

4. You might want to create shortcuts that will launch the viewer with those ports.

Edit: Or you could just leave things as they are and use the VNC Viewer to get to CompA and use your web browser to get to CompB, via http://yoursecondpc.example.com:5800 (single colon)
