RE: Uninstalling WinVNC
Aside from simply hacking through the system hoping to get all the leftovers from this installation, I would suggest finding a system that does not have the VNC software on it, running some sort of capture utility like Wise or Install Shield while installing the VNC software and then taking that result to use as a guide to manually remove the VNC components. Then you can reinstall VNC in a controlled manner. -Original Message- From: A Matias [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 5:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Uninstalling WinVNC I had some software that automatically installs WinVNC as part of the installation program (don't even see when it is installed).

mapping a remote drive
with vnc, when you want to talk to machine(x) which is behind a router, the router needs to be set to forward port 590x to machine(x). presumably this is also true with mapping a drive (using win 2000 pro) on a machine behind a router, but the syntax is not obvious to me. i would think it's an argument to the \\server\share syntax. does anyone know what it is? thanks.. - To unsubscribe, send a message with the line: unsubscribe vnc-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html -

Quick Desk
Before I go translating the help file from German to English, is there anyone on the list who is using the QuickDesk and/or FileServer tools from Bankenservice GmbH to do file transfers from within VNC? If yes, are you in a position to give a synopsis of using these tools (nickel tour level would be fine, as would a pointer to English language docs somewhere else;?) The QuickDesk product screens are in English, but are minimal, and the help file is in German. The FileServer product is entirely in German. I'm particularly interested in whether QuickDesk (which has a graphic FTP-style interface) is self-sufficient, or whether it needs FileServer active on the VNC server to function; whether any compatibility issues exist with recent versions of VNC or TridiaVNC; whether incompatibilities exist with the zebedee VPN product; and whether the product requires any open ports beyond what are required for VNC and FTP. The QuickDesk url, if anyone is interested, is: http://www.gtgbankenservice.de/downloads/vncqd/ the babelfish translation setup (you'll need to click the "Translate" control) is at: http://babel.altavista.com/translate.dyn?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gtgbankenservice.de%2Fdownloads%2Fvncqd%2F&lp=de_en&doit=done&frame=random I am in the process of deploying VNC for technical support purposes for my employer, and file transfers are a frequent requirement.

Multiple Monitor Patch (was: WinVNC quad monitor support.)
OK, I keep forgetting to announce this, but here goes. A few months ago I mentioned that I had worked on the starts of a patch to do multiple monitors last year. Well, on the encouragement of a few people from this list, I continued working on it, and I ended up with something that works very well. Then I ended watching two months of my life go by in fast forward, bringing me here. I have plans on more features I want to add to it (such as being able to address individual monitors separately through different display numbers), but what I have _would_ do what Dean wants :). Right now it just creates a bounding box of all the monitors on the screen and remotes that larger window. The mouse code is a little sketchy on Windows 98, but it detects if you have 2000 (or if you just don't have multiple monitors, in which case it uses the original mouse code) and then uses a much cleaner method. Problem being you can't use mouse_event() to do an absolute mouse move to any monitor other than the primary monitor on 98, but you can on 2000... MSDN recommends changing the mouse sensitivity options, moving the cursor to the upper-left corner of the primary monitor, and then doing relative move to the position you need... ick... will need to look more into straight point-to-point relative mouse moves and whether or not those would work well enough (I'm mainly worried about accidental clicks or drags or whatever if the mouse on the server gets bumped while doing work, and the click is now relative to that offset point as opposed to an absolute position that wouldn't get messed up)... regardless, I digress. Just the new executable: ftp://ftp.saurik.com/pub/vnc/MultiVNC-0.0.1.exe The source code: ftp://ftp.saurik.com/pub/vnc/MultiVNC-0.0.1.src.zip CVS access (for generating patches or tracking sources or whatever): :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/nmap Passwd: cvs // Module: vnc If people would like just diffs instead of CVS access I can provide that (will get around to it regardless, would just take longer than if you poke me, hehe). Ken Malencia, one of the two people who were interested in the patch, has been using this regularly for a while now and has claimed that it has been working fine; but I still wouldn't recommend you overwrite your existing VNC executable :). I gave it a different icon (the VNC "user in system" notification icon), so it fits nicely as MultiVNC.exe and "WinVNC (MultiMon)".

RE: Trouble with VNC and OpenView

RE: mapping a remote drive
I see thousands more scans against port 138 than I do against port 5800 or 5900. Yes, if you limit your exposure, that's true and you absolutely have to have good passwords that are changed often. And you have to make absolutely sure that you haven't forgotten to patch something that leaves port 138 vulnerable to a known hack. Just because port 138 is well known, it scares me to open it more than VNC. There are lots more attempts against port 138 than VNC.

(X) window location & size
This must be a FAQ but I can't find any mention of it on the VNC web page or in the last 3 months of mailing-list archive. I am running VNC server on Linux, vncviewer on Windows 9x. When I connect, I get that ghostly, skeletal box that I must position to where I want the X window placed. I move it to where I want it and then my application appears. I am trying to simplify this as much as possible for end users. Is there some way to get the X window to immediately go to the extreme upper left? I realize this is probably more an X question than VNC.

Well, it would be, except that Microsoft has demonstrably pathetic security. Workgroup sharing passwords can be bypassed (note that I did not say cracked, simply bypassed), and the method for doing so is widely known.

This has to do with the window manager in X. Some (most?) window managers have a resource/setting/option called window placement policy. In your case the default must be something like "ask", which lets the user place the window. Other possible settings are "random" or even "smart". If you are using twm (as the vncserver script calls by default), check the man pages for twm. As you can tell by now, this is window manager specific, and not a whole lot to do with X per se.

RE: (X) window location & size
I added the directive "RandomPlacement" in "/usr/openwin/lib/X11/twm/system.twmrc" on my Solaris box. You will need to find where the "system.twmrc" file is placed on Linux. Also if you specify geometry on any clients started in the xstartup file, they will be placed. By all means, though, do read the man page since there is a more complete discussion in there.

Can't start vnc service
On WinNT The "admin->install service" refuses to install a service; of course with no diagnostic info. I believe my problem is that winvnc is already listed as a service in the services list. Unfortunately I can find no way of deleting things from this list. The services utility allows disabling a service but not deleting it. Uninstalling a newly installed winvnc does not delete it. I obviously did this once before since it is there in the service list which means I have appropriate install privileges. Any clue how I can delete that useless winvnc service so I can reinstall it? I probably forgot to uninstall once before reinstalling and now I am being punished in perpetuity for my sin. ;-).

Re: mapping a remote drive

RE: mapping a remote drive
Netbeui is not routable and won't work through any router.(Netbios riding on top of TCP/IP or IPX/SPX is different) Yes that is one way to connect via VNC to various machines behind a firewall. And FTP, HTTP and such are fairly hard coded, but they can be moved to'non-standard' ports. FTP would probably be the hardest as it would take some playing on the client end. HTTP is easy to 'move' on the client end for special machine.

Firewall question..
New subscriber here (thanks for the idea David!!). VNC has worked well for me so far but for one issue. I cannot get my Linksys router to forward ports properly through its firewall. I am forwarding port 5800 and 5900 to the static internal IP of my machine, but no matter what I do I cannot get it to work from the outside. I have enabled Remote Administration of the router, so I can go in and manually put my machine in the DMZ from the outside world, and then access VNC just fine either with through the web server or the VNC client. Obviously, this leaves me wide open to the rest of the world and I already had a problem getting hacked when I forgot and left my machine in the DMZ for a long period of time. Came home that day to find Norton had stopped a virus (actually a trojan) from an unknown source. I should add that I am currently running a Windows ME machine as the server, and my workstation at work is running NT 4 SP5.

RE: Firewall question..
The only issue I can think of right off hand is that you have to connect to the public IP address of the router. For instance, your router has a public(Internet) address of 209.172.152.101 and your internal machine is 192.168.0.50. Then you would try to VNC to 209.172.152.101:5900 (or :5800 from a browser). And the router should be forwarding ports 5800 & 5900 to 192.168.0.50. -Original Message- From: Eric Greenberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 8:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Firewall question..

RE: Firewall question..
Thanks Lyle. That is exactly how it works for me now. With the DMZ host turned on ALL ports automatically get forwarded to my private IP from the router. What I am trying to do is to just forward the ports needed for VNC and turn off the DMZ feature leaving the rest of my ports secure. I have tried every range of ports I can think of (and read about thus far) and none seem to work.

I want to extend VNC
The plan is: 1.add a sound track,so the client can hear remote's sound 2.save the captured picture of remote computer and sound to a AVI file,just like www.techsmith.com 's Snag It or Camtasia.

Good luck. However, make sure that any protocol extensions you consider are compatible with existing clients & servers, and that they take into consideration platforms other than your target(s) so that future efforts may be able to work with your extensions. Also, remember that not every client or server has "unlimited" network bandwidth or CPU power, and your protocol extension should at least recognise that such cases exist, even if it cannot operate in these cases. The current protocol specification is based on the PDF document found on AT&T's website, with quite a few extensions floating around (mostly to do with better graphics compression). -- from: Jonathan "Chromatix" Morton mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not for attachments) big-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] uni-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The key to knowledge is not to rely on people to teach you it.

RE: VNC on Windows2000 with two IP addresses
Ric: Hello! Actually...this solution worries me: > 1. Go to "Network and Dialup Connections" > 2. Double-click on the network card that is connected to the Internet > 3. Hit the Properties button > 4. Hit the Sharing tab > 5. Hit the Settings button > 6. Hit the Services tab > 7. Hit the Add button > 8. Fill in: > Name of Service: "VNC" > Service Port Number: 5900 > Name or Address of server...: 192.168.0.1 > 9. Hit the OK button and close all the dialogs. This may sound weird...but...despite the fact that it works (hee), what I *think* this Win2k "sharing" thing was meant to do is to provide external access to services running on *other* machines in your LAN. You're (mis)using it to connect to the internal interface of the firewall machine itself. What you may want to try instead is changing the firewall itself: simply open port 5900 on the "internet side" of your Win2k box. Network-Properties-Protocols- TCP-Properties-Advanced-Enable Security (phew). This may be better for you, as you'll be able to indicate the *source IP* from which you'd be willing to accept VNC connections. As you have it now, anyone can reach the VNC server on your firewall...and we know who you are from the IP# in your email headers. :) Just a thought. -Scott PS: No, really, keep me on this list. ;) - To unsubscribe, send a message with the line: unsubscribe vnc-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html -

RE: Firewall question..
Eric: Two quick questions for ya: 1. Have you ever gotten the LinkSys box to forward any ports? I mean, not just for VNC, for anything. Sometimes you have to specify *opening* the port, as well as specifiying that you want to *forward* it; two-steps. 2. Next time you've got the port-forwarding setup for your VNC box, try connecting to it with telnet. So, telnet to 209.172.152.101:5900 and report how it fails. It if drops quickly, the firewall is likely still blocking the port. If it lingers...it may be that your LAN machine is having difficulty getting packets *out* of the firewall. Good luck! -Scott PS: Alternative: get a firewall with a *lot* more support -- see leaf.sourceforge.net. Great project. :) > Thanks Lyle. That is exactly how it works for me now.
