loosing connection

Post by schieferer »

Sometimes I have a problem with loosing a connection to a clients machine as soon as it is started. I see the monitor of the client (1 second) and then it crashes. I use SC with port 80 and encryption. The problem happens with ADSL and also with DialIn connections. I don't have any idea for this problem. Can somebody help me? Thank you!

Dial up--- I can never get to work

ADSL maybe unstable causing you the grief.. If the packets get lost then you maybe losing your connection..

Loosing Connection

Post by mccannm »

I use single click for support from several sites.

One client I have (which was working OK) has started to drop the connection after about 1 second also. These guys are on ADSL. I have had to resort to a web conferncing tool instead which COSTS!

They are runnng Norton Internet Security (current version) which may be the cause - I think that they may have been running a previous version up to now.

Any suggestions?

well you can try a few things.

1.) First check and see if the worm protection in norton is causing the issue??

2.) try using ports lower then 1024. It seems that a lot of ISP are slowing down traffic on ports higher than 1024 to combat P2P networking and file sharing programs..

3.) See if you can use SCIII ( in beta now)

Re: loosing connection --> solution

Post by rosid »

I was having the same problems mentioned above. Desktop showed up for one second, then connection was terminated. I tried the suggestions above but none worked.

I found a solution:

The machine running SC (Win XP SP2) had a non-standard cursor (control panel --> mouse) installed. After changing the cursor to a standard one, it worked fine. In fact, the cursor that was previously installed wasn't selectable anymore after I changed the cursors.

Has anybody a technical explanation for this?
I'm glad it works now and hope it may help somebody.

edit: I was able to reproduce the connection loss by choosing the 3D bronze cursor in control panel --> mouse.

I also have this problem with a PC running on German WinXP SP2. UVNC SC worked on that PC already some time ago but suddenly it stopped working with the same problems you described. I never could track it down why it stopped working some day. I just gave it up. But now I will try the "standard mouse cursor" solution on that PC - I will give feedback here when I tested it.

Now I can confirm that the "3D-White" cursor broke UVNC SC. With the standard cursor all works fine again. So, any update planned for this? I think thats a serious bug and should be handled and solved with priority.

This might explain an issue I have seen with the standard Viewer/Server. With 3D Bronze pointers on the server, if I select Auto the connection crashes. But, if I choose LAN, it works fine. I suspect that SC is using Auto ...
