Reading Proxy Settings Error

Post by PaulW »

Need some help. I am moving the repeater to another computer and running into problems;

Here is what I did:
downloaded the chunkvnc file and installed on the computer this is also the viewer.
Copied the latest winvnc.exe file and placed it in the instantsupport_files folder
Entered the Compile info but using different Port Numbers for Viewer and Server (output of was to a temp directory so copied the instantsupport and viewer folder)

Compiled and copied Repeater Folder to the Repeater Computer (already running the DUC file for NO-IP since I don't have a static IP from the ISP)
> Ran the Repeater108 file and opened the settings and changed the Ports to match what was used in the compile

Ran the instantsupport file on the a remote computer to test, the window came up with the 6 digit number BUT the winvnc configuration box ALSO opened up behind it!!!!

The repeater Log file had this:
socket<> initialized, bind to both Ports was "succeded", Listen <) succeded,
accept<> connection
Reading Proxy settings erro
accept<> connection
Reading Proxy settings erro
How about Now? And Now?

Usually if the winvnc configuration box comes up something got messed up during compile.
If you've changed any of the code try recompiling with a stock install.

Reading Proxy settings erro means that InstantSupport or ChunkViewer checked to see if the repeater was there, think of it as a hello. :)

Okay, I moved the chunkvnc over to the Repeater computer and installed it there. Ran the compile. I started the repeater file, changed the ports and restarted the repeater. Ran the instant support file and it came up with the number and this time asked for the password (not doing that before), entered and the Viewer starts and I can see the remote computer. I click once to minimize the instantsupport windows on the remote computer and it minimizes but after that it does not respond to anymore mouse clicks.

Log shows:
"Reading Proxy settings erro" < so not an error or it is an error??

Since the viewer is on the same LAN I used switch mode and got the same results where I can click once but after that no more response to clicks?? Thanks for the help.
How about Now? And Now?
