pchelpware, ready to help your partner/friend/family

Post by redge »

----------------- please use only for test purpose ---------------

based pchelpware Release 1.0
(built 2 January 2007 ~1h00)

1. -= partner =-

The partner has to download and runs pchelpware_partner.exe, enters your login: as you set in the respective field (31121900 in the sample above) and password (required) password click Connect then.

2. -=viewer (you)=-

download PchelpWare_viewer.exe

Then, run pchelpware_viewer.exe and fill exactly as below:
  • alias: (optional),pchelpware or any name you prefer)
  • password (required max 7 caracters): password <-- fill before press Start
  • select via repeater
  • use ID number other than 31121900
  • set Host Repeater: uvnc.com
  • set Listen Port viewer: 5901
  • set Listen Port server: 5500
  • uncheck Auto map of UPnP (bad upnp)
  • optionally, if you connect to Internet trough https proxy, check the check box
  • and finally, click Start

3. -=You are now connected to the partner =- :-)


Quick Trouble shoot

- pchelpware_server must be connected to repeater before pchelpware_viewer
- uncheck box Auto map UPnP (disable, bad code of UPnP
- Disable DirectX (optional)
required for some situation of blank or black screen

software/hardware unable to allow Direct3D ..

- failed connection,
missmatch, wrong or forgotten or too long password, maximum 7 caracters (local or/and remote)

- PcHelpWare not compatible VNC
so you require pchelpware_viewer and pchelpware_server for sucess.


for your information:
the practical example uses this network topology:

partner -- partner network -- Internet|public repeater uvnc.com <-- your network -- you


For those interested .... How to create my own?
from viewer, click over "Create Server for this viewers settings" or click at bottom, "Create Server" and you can found the file created to folder \PcHelpWare\myservers\PcHelpWare\PcHelpWare_server.exe
and
\PcHelpWare\myservers\create_server\server\PcHelpWare_server.exe

download the full package from genuine source available and read readme.txt and the manual




---------- begin content file helpdesk.txt ----------------
-connect uvnc.com:5500 -id ask -passwd ask
---------- end content file helpdesk.txt ------------------

from the above pchelpware_partner.exe. for adaptation and creating your own pchelpware_server to connect to your own repeater.


(Hint: I renamed pchelpware_server.exe to pchelpware_partner.exe for the sake of brevity)
