problems loading uvnc sc

[matymax]

Hi guys,

Ive looked all over the forum and google and have not found anyone with my problem and its kinda frustrating.

Ive downloaded custom.zip. for the sake of getting uvnc sc tested and running on a client/server basis i segmented the test network to just have client/server, no port forwarding or wan untill it works properly. Ive compiled the uvnc sc exe running on a client and a uvnc listening port. Everything is left at default ports for the test. Should be simple enough right?

I have the uvnc server on listening mode for connections and is set to listen on the default port. when I launch the uvnc sc app on the client system a new green icon is in the system tray and hovering my mouse over it says listening aswell. But no connections are present. From what ive been reading, arent i supposed to be greeted with a welcome screen of the contents of the helpdesk.txt and click "connect"? Im stuck at this point where the icon in the system tray doesnt seem to have any activity. Ive followed some step by steps docs from some other users in the forum. (by the way, very well documented) but im not sure what im doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated. The 2 systems in question are windows xp sp3. Please let me know if you need any more info. Thank you kindly. Mateo

I have the uvnc server on listening mode for connections and is set to listen on the default port.

Do you mean having the server (winvnc.exe), or the viewer (vncviewer.exe) on listening mode?
The SC.exe is designed to connect to a listening viewer (NOT the vncserver). To run a viewer in listening mode, you should open a CMD Window, goto the viewer folder, and run this command:

Code: Select all

vncviewer.exe -listen

(This will use the 5500 port, and not using dsmplugin)
Now you can launch the sc app on the client system.

when I launch the uvnc sc app on the client system a new green icon is in the system tray and hovering my mouse over it says listening aswell

This is OK, but the message is misleading. The SC.exe is actually trying to connect to a listening viewer.


One suggestion: during the test, turn off the firewalls (both pc) to avoid any signal be blocked.

thanks for the fast reply YY,

Sorry i meant the viewer running on listening mode. I tried it through the command line like you suggested and got the same result. I had turned off the firewall on the vncviewer listening computer prior to testing. I just disabled firewall on the uvnc sc station and relaunched but still just kinda idle. I can ping one another no problem.

Just so I have this right. My helpdesk.txt contains 192.168..1.9:5500 for the host it is connecting to and my viewer in listening mode is set to listen on 5500 as well. Is this correct?

Hi,

I just tried running uvnc server and viewer in the typical scenerio and it crashed. my original problem doesnt look to be sc related. Im not sure how this works but do I need to close this thread? I'll reopen in a different category.

thanks for your help YY

Can you post the exact content of the helpdesk.txt file?
May be we can find out some syntax error.

Hi YY,

It seemed to be a problem with the windows build on the client. (running sc). Ive sinced tried a different system and sc connects. Thanks for helping and keep up all the good work.
