Multiple viewers to Win 95
Hi. I'm sure this must have bee asked before, but I can't find it in the FAQ I'm running a WinVNC Server on a Windows 95 machine and want multiple users to be able to view my screen at the same time (I've clicked "Disable Remote Keyboard & Pointer" on the server so they can only view the screen). But whenever a new viewer connects the other clients get disconnected. This happens with both the VNC viewer and when they use a web browser. Please, what am I doing wrong?

RE: Clarification - pcanywhere functionality
Here is a suggestion. Let your users run X, as they normally would, and run a VNC client application on their desktop to connect to a VNC server (which may also be on their same machine). Shadow that VNC server by running a VNC client on your desktop. Run the Unix application in the VNC desktop, which is within both of your desktops.

Win32 starting service.
I'm a bit confused here, and quite frustrated at Trividias non-existent basic installation support. I am administrator of a domain over 1000 miles away, and until today was using PcAnywhere for remote access. Security policies dictated that pcA's ports be closed so now I only have port 80 and 25 to work through. Last week while pcA was working, I installed VNC, or thought I had. It exists in "Program Files", but I cannot start the service as it isn't installed. Fortunately I wrote a secure cgi-system to be able to issue system commands through the webserver to cope with this eventuality. I can do net start/stop, reboot, update the registry etc, upload and download any file with this, except control a gui program. Physical presence is not an option. Any clues on how to get the service installed, running and listening on port 80?

It will act like a normal VNC server, except that it views and controls display :0 (the normal one that the HP user sees). This server must be installed on the Solaris box. Once that is done, any VNC viewer can watch. I believe that the VNC servers (and thus the x0rfbserver) have options for disabling remote keyboard and mouse, so that the VNC viewer people can only watch, not control.

Cannot load Xfont helvb12
I am running VNCserver on a solaris box (2.6) using CDE. When I try to launch
an application from a
PC based VNC viewer, I get
the following error :
-cannot load Xfont
This error message comes from our proprietary application, so it shouldn't be
recognizable
for others.
But it originates from a call to XLoadQueryFont(Xio.DspPtr, "helvb12")
I have tried with various font paths;
{/usr/openwin/lib/X1/fonts/}[F3,F3bitmaps,Type1, Speedo, misc,75dpi, 100dpi]
but to no avail.
I have also tried having a font server running on my solaris box (xfs on port
6100), in which case I
defined my font path in the vncserver wrapper script:
$cmd .= "-fp tcp/localhost:6100";
It seems that no request is being made to the server, because I have
configured it with an error log, which
remains empty, regardless how many times I try to launch the application.
If I launch the same application from a native window on the solaris box, the
font problem vanishes.
Any clues ? Your help will be appreciated.

Setting up win32 vncserver completely from command line?
I need to set this up remotely and using the command line only. I got the service installed and running on the webserver, but only have ports 80 and 25 available. Netstat shows that it's listening on port 5900 as expected. I need to configure the VNC server just by using command lines. It needs a password and needs to run on port 80. This worries me, because the webserver (IIS4) already has this. The FAQ (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/faq.html#q53) says that it's possible, but "You obviously can't run a VNC server on a port that's already being used for other things. " This is less than useful on a live webserver! This would mean that I would have to stop the web server in order to use VNC and then restart it again when finished. This is a last resort, and would mean I have to work on the server at night, (which I already do anyway!). Anyone any ideas on configuring VNC server using command lines? Or, do I have to edit the registry using command lines instead?

The fundamental nature of TCP/IP says that you CANNOT have two different
services listening on the same port. Which service would respond to
connection requests?
You'll either have to configure VNC to use port 25 (assuming IIS doesn't
have a Telnet service there) or you'll have to open another port on the
firewall.
If you attempt to put a second server on an existing, in-use port, the
second server will receive an error from the TCP/IP system (WinSock, in the
case of Windows), and will be unable to bind to that port. Even if it did
work, you would get interesting behavior. Some people who tried to web
browse to that machine would receive the VNC protocol welcome ("RFB 3.3", I
think...), and other people who tried to use VNC would get a "Unable to
connect to server" when IIS jumped in and handed out "HTTP 1.0"...

Re: Setting up win32 vncserver completely from command line?
Thanks very much, This is what I thought I knew already... but I still need to try and configure port and password via command lines or registry entries without using any GUI as my admin interface is just a web browser at the moment. >You'll either have to configure VNC to use port 25 (assuming IIS doesn't >have a Telnet service there) or you'll have to open another port on the >firewall.

In this situation I think the best answer available at present is to install an SSH server on the firewall, and allow SSH connections from the Internet to the firewall (but not necessarily to machines behind the firewall). Then use SSH tunnels to handle VNC connections. This is fairly easy to set up (instructions are available on the VNC web site http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc ), though it is a bit of a hassle. Of course, if you don't have access to the firewall, or the administrator perversely refuses to allow SSH connections, you are SOL. But I would argue that, since you *must* open some port, all other things being equal, the SSH port (22) is the best candidate from a security perspective (and I assume you are security conscious, given the existing firewall setup). -- Joe > Cheers, > Andy. > > ~~ > Haveland-Robinson Associates Tel. +36 30 223 2158 > Budapest 1015, Donati u.17 fszt.1, Hungary Web: www.haveland.com > - > 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 > - -- Joe Knapka "It was just a maddened crocodile hidden in a flower bed.

Server release 3.3.3R9
I was a more-or-less contented user of VNC 3.3.3R7 for WinNT. When 3.3.3R8 came out with the socket leak fix, I was ecstatic until I discovered the AuthHosts problem, so I installed 3.3.3R9 as soon as it was posted. Unfortunately, I now get exactly 1 logon (reproduced across servers of different manufacturers, though all NT4 SP6a-based) before the VNC Service or Executable, if running in App Mode, Dr. Watsons. I've tried this on servers doing a "clean" install (uninstall, delete folders, then reinstall) and installing over the previous version, with the same results. I've tried accessing the servers via a 3.3.3R2 VNCviewer, a 3.3.3R3 VNCviewer, and the WEB plug-in viewer with the same results. Anyone else having this problem? I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have.

RE: Multiple viewers to Win 95
I think what you may be after is a checkbox in the viewer options labelled "Request Shared Session".

Any other port is out of the question. I was pleased to be able to keep a pcAnywhere port open long enough to do the bulk of the development, but I had to give in to political pressures and conform to security policy. I couldn't remain an exception for ever. I got vnc working here on my network using standard ports, but need to configure the server to operate on something else than the standard. I could stop the smtp service temporarily I suppose. I can't individually stop port 80 OR 81 with a "net stop w3svc" as I'd then lose my lifeline. Question is, how do I configure the vnc server to listen on 25? I can then issue a command over http to run a batch file to stop the smtp service then start vnc. I can then use a vnc session over port 25, then when finished, issue another command over http to stop vnc then restart smtp. I can update the vnc settings with a registry set over http, but I cannot see how to set the listen port for it. On my system here, the GUI won't allow me to enter -5875!

RE: Clarification - pcanywhere functionality
I am not sure exactly how with the current version of VNC, what I use is rather old (3.3.2 on Linux), so the details may be a little different. Also, I don't run OpenView (no Sun), so the exact window manager invocation may be a little different.. First, you would install both VNC server and VNC client on the Sun machine. Assign a password for VNC, using vncpasswd. This is NOT a user password, it is a password to connect to VNC. Modify the VNC server perl script for your use. Probably, all you will need to change is the $defaultXStartup code towards the top of the file. The version I have runs xrdb, xsetroot, xterm, and a window manager (twm). Look through the archives of this list, someone may have put in a version which runs open view. Launch this server. If this server is running on the machine "mozhdeh.cisco.com", and there IS an X server running, and there are no other VNC servers running, it will probably be server :1, the vncviewer string would be something like: "vncviewer -shared mozhdeh.cisco.com:1". The server will tell you the string to use when you start it (my server says "New 'X' desktop is warrior:1"), my command would be "vncviewer -shared warrior:1". The -shared is required to allow everyone to connect to the same desktop. Everyone running this command will be prompted for passwords, use the one entered above, and you should then be able to share the same "desktop". Note that this client will then show up as a window on everyone's workstations/PCs. The clients can be Unix or Windows clients, it doesn't matter. I hope this helps.

A lot of development distracting from the core requirement which is to administrate a website!
