my settings for local only (so far)

[jawz101]

I've been using ultravnc for some time at my office for quickly remoting into user computers but I wanted to expand the option to get everyone in the office a quick way to hop on other user's desktops. chunkvnc seemed to be the way to go( and free).
Right now I'm looking at a local only setup for just LAN communication. To do so I've put my repeater's internal IP in both boxes when compiling.
Looks good so far.

If I find any more options for adjusting quality settings to spiff up any latency issues I figured I'd add it to this thread. Also, if I find ways to suppress Windows prompts ('do you want to open this file?', 'do you trust this file?') type stuff I'll add it as well. So far so good!

todo:
-see if disabling encryption helps w/ latency
-check other quality settings but maintain "just enough" quality for a decent viewing
-look at ways to reduce windows run prompts (currently two)
-see what exclusion rules may help if AV is affecting performance (we use Kaspersky at the office.)

I'm pretty sure it's the best tool ever...

Perfect.


If I find any more options for adjusting quality settings to spiff up any latency issues I figured I'd add it to this thread.

You can adjust the quality in Viewer\Bin\chunkviewer.ini, look for Quality=3
1: Auto
2: LAN
3: Medium
4: Modem
5: Slow
7: Ultra


Also, if I find ways to suppress Windows prompts ('do you want to open this file?', 'do you trust this file?') type stuff I'll add it as well.

I'm working on version 3.3 right now and the solution I came up with is to remove the NTFS stream containing the block with javascript.
unblock.js:

Code: Select all

// Script to "UNBLOCK" all files in the current directory by pete.at.redtitan.com

// (c) RedTitan Technology 2007

// http://www.pclviewer.com

var shell=new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");

fso=new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

var total=0;

var f=fso.GetFolder('.');              // Current folder

var fc=new Enumerator(f.files);

for (; !fc.atEnd(); fc.moveNext()){

 var fileName=fc.item().Name+':Zone.Identifier';

 try

 {

   f1 = fso.OpenTextFile(fileName,2); // If the Zone Identifier does not exist ..

   total++;

   f1.Close();

 }

 catch(e){}                           // .. we don't care

}

I doubt this would help unless you have very slow CPU's.


-check other quality settings but maintain "just enough" quality for a decent viewing

See above.


-look at ways to reduce windows run prompts (currently two)

Wait for 3.3 or implement the above code.


-see what exclusion rules may help if AV is affecting performance (we use Kaspersky at the office.)

Performance will always be slower going through the repeater instead of a direct connection. Over the internet this lag is to expected but in a LAN environment it might always be noticeable. That being said, when I control computers over my LAN with ChunkVNC it works very well with minimal lag.



Glad you like the project.


Side note, since you are doing LAN only why not just install UltraVNC with the mirror driver? This would be by far the fastest connection.
