Viewer connection issue on "Negotiate Protocol"

[proceno72]

I'm testing ChunkVnc 3.3.1 on Lan.
Repeater (vers. 108 bundled with chunkvnc) running on Windows 2008 Server (ip 192.168.10.16), listening on standard ports 443 and 5901.
On Pc1 run InstantSupport.exe and it seems ok, on Pc2 run ChunkViewer.exe and connection stops on "Negotiate Protocol" message.
No firewall or antivirus software on both pc and Windows 2008 with repeater.
Monitoring network traffic I can see correct tcp connections on ports 443-5901; on repeater log i can see correct id added for viewer and server (except for a "Reading Proxy settings erro" message).
Running viewer directly with command line with:

Code: Select all

vncviewer.exe -loglevel 10 -logfile vncviewer.log -proxy 192.168.10.16:5901 ID:438989 -quickoption 3 -autoscaling -keepalive 1 -dsmplugin SecureVNCPlugin.dsm -password 12345678

obtained this log:

Code: Select all

Started and Winsock (v 2) initialised
bufsize expanded to 4352
Registered connection with app
Connected to 192.168.10.16 port 5901

Connected to RFB server, using protocol version 3.0

 -The server running as application

VNC viewer closing down

So I grabbed command-line for server (InstantSupport.exe) with sysinternals process explorer utility, and I tried runnig it in "manual mode".
I use:

Code: Select all

InstantSupportVNC.exe -httpproxy -autoreconnect ID:250000 -connect 192.168.10.16:443 -run

Now ChunkViewer.exe works perfect !!!!!
Why I can't use compiled autoit exe InstantSupport.exe?

Having the same issue. Running version 3.3.1. Think I will revert back to a previous version as I had very little problems with that one. I am using ports 5 U901 and 5500. Set on mode 1 & 2. Can see them connect but when running the viewer It stays on negotiating protocol version. No password prompt. UPDATE! as I am writing this I finally got a password prompt. Closed the viewer and tried to connect again. Timeout. Opened it back up and it connected. I think I noticed this when I started using 3.3.1. Not sure what is taking it so long. The internet connection is fast on both ends.

Believe this might have to do with a customized InstantSupport.exe. I recreated it and it seems to be working now. Will try and customize this one and see what happens.

Glad it seemed to resolve itself, let me know if you still have issues.

Yes, the problem was my customization of InstantSupport.au3.
Restored original file, recompiled and now it works.
In my customized version of Instansupport.au3, there was a line like this

Code: Select all

$sData = InetRead("http://www.mywebsite.com/ver_instantsupport.txt")

to retrive the version string of my updated exe (to implement a sort of auto-check of new release).
It seems that InetRead autoit function breaks vncserver (?!).
