RE: Obtaining IP address over internet
Huh? How on earth could that be illegal? Okay, the quick solution: Obtain one of those free subdomains (like cjb.net and the likes of it). You could then VNC to that address and wouldn't have to worry about the ip. Of course you would need a client that refreshes the domain IP every now and then. Can't say if it works though, never attemped the likes of it (no free local calls in sweden), but there shouldn't be any problems with it. I however doubt that your system/network adminstrator would like you VNCing from work to your home machine :) /Bjorn, who will attempt the same thing once he can get his hands on a broadband/DSL connection :) > -Original Message- > From: Howlett, Simon (NESL-IT) > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: den 17 maj 2001 11:01 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Obtaining IP address over internet > > > Isn't that illegal ? > > Simon Howlett > NT Server Team > > > -Original Message- > From: Steve Godfrey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 17 May 2001 07:44 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Obtaining IP address over internet > > I wank to VNC to my home PC from work over the internet, My > dial-up modem > connection is occasionally dropped and the IP address will > change every time > the PC reconnects.

asciicircum sent twice
Hi all, I'm using the latest windows vncviewer to view a linux desktop (Xvnc) Everything works fine, except the asciicirum (^) key. When I press the ^ key it shows up twice (^^). Now the strange part: For testing I remap the keycode to x: xmodmap -e "keycode 23 = x" >From then on I get two capital Xs (XX), when I press the ^ key. Can anyone explain this? Since showkeys does not show anything with the -s flag, I conclude, that I do not get scancodes. So I guess the windows-client remaps the scancode to a keycode?? I'm using a german keymap. vncclient says it's keyboard 0407 Can this problem be solved with the -keyboard option? So far.. - Clemens - - 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: vnc without screen update
We are building something similar for a training application. The clients (there will be many) are viewing the single server. So, we are changing the server to update without the client update request message. Normally, the client runs a continuous loop that requests update, processes update, then repeats. So, there are both client and server changes to your request. The server needs to "push" updates without being requested and the client needs to receive and process them without sending a request. Our solution involves making the server update by assuming a full update was requested and then just having clients process the update as they receive them.

VNC vs Tridia
Okay, I've seen many references to the two suites, but I'm looking for something more conclusive. I see that Tridia has more encoding options (adding compression), but AT&T VNC is ported to more platforms. Fine. But as my primary use is 100% "wintel" << yeah, yeah, *nix is much better, but I'm a corporate IT guy that has to support an infrastructure of wintel boxes---cut me some slack, OK ;-) >> and both suites exist for that platform, I'd *really* like to know why some of you have mixed installations.

I work for a call center, and the supervisors wanted visual monitoring capabilities. I proposed VNC, and they loved it. It had 3 problems though: 1) no simple way to disable password checking (without a dialog box warning msg) 2) Users could exit VNC and/or kill all connected clients, mess w/properties, etc 3) tray icon changed colours when people connected. It was a bit tricky, but I got all three "problems" fixed. 1) Set "AuthRequired" to 0 so no password was necessary 2) A little more difficult, but I had first set it so no one could change properties, then I made some registry changes using "AllowProperties" and "AllowShutdown". Then I wised up, and discovered I can set it for certain users to have access to shutting down and changing properties by specifying them in the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\] key. (I set the whole IT dept up to be able to shutdown/change properties) 3) a bit more involved, but while editing the source so the silly "warning, password blank, blah blah blah" warning dialog box didn't pop-up (it's nested in an "if,then,else" statement...just remove the "else" part and it compiles fine)I also changed the tray icon to be white at all times (replaced the black/green icon with a copy of the normal icon) Yeah, a bit more difficult and drawn out then what Jason Powell suggested, but I wanted to keep the tray icon so I could quickly see who had VNC and who did not :) If you want a copy of the regkeys I used, email me back __ Dan Frantz, CNA - 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 - - 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 -

I use them both and since they interoperate very well, it does not seem to be a pain to have them both around.

re: nmap to port 6001 kills vnc session...
Mike: Hello! I'm sorry that my suggestions don't sound appealing to you. It sounds like you found a potential weakness in a VNC system, but are dis-inclined to gather more data about the particulars. My experience with open source projects over the years is that the person who calls in the fire is often expected to help aim the hose. :) Regarding those real-world nmap scans, and those port-53 DNS scans (the Lion worm, was it?) that securityfocus.com reported as originating in China somewhere...there is, from my POV, a big difference. Certainly, I didn't mean to imply that either of them is unimportant and shouldn't be worried about. However, it is important IMO to distinguish between the relative threat level, and that does include taking stock of the frequency of occurrence. Like you, I get keyhole scanned several times a day, people looking for Sub-7 or RPC or whatever. In fact, my own ISP scans me for running an NNTP server at least once a day. :) Yet...I don't think I've ever been nmap'd into a denial of service. Though there was that time when I unleased a Nessus scan on my firewall from www.vulnerabilities.org, just to see what'd happen. Ug. Which gets to your original question: no, until your post, I've never heard that Xvnc can be DoS'd with an nmap scan. I'd be very much interested, as you would be, if that could be confirmed. I don't run Xvnc here, so all the help I can offer has been. Good luck! cheers, Scott On Thu, 17 May 2001, Mike Miller wrote: > On Wed, 16 May 2001, Scott C.

Handy to have Tridia Server installed so that external/slow access can use the Tridia Client and get compression. Internal/fast access users will probably prefer the floppy-sized AT&T installer (or, even better, simply copying the ~115KB viewer executable) over the 5-6MB Tridia installer (which also installs a Java runtime just to execute its install script, and leaves it around so that it can execute its uninstall script later). Technically, if you only want the viewer, the Tridia Client can also be "installed" by simply copying the executable, but some people prefer to have a "real" install program...

I was hoping for one of the developers to respond. Thanks for getting back to me. So I did what you wanted and tried nmap to 5801 and to 5901. Neither had any effect on the operation of Xvnc. It's only 6001. Now what I really mean is that VNC running on display :1 is destroyed when I nmap port 6001, but VNC for display :7 is destroyed if I nmap port 6007. What I mean by 'destroyed' is that if vncviewer was showing that display, it immediately stops taking input, and if vncviewer wasn't up, it can no longer connect to the server at all (for that display). > Like you, I get keyhole scanned several times a day, people > looking for Sub-7 or RPC or whatever.

Which machine/device/host has the 194.109.x.x address? If your provider is giving it to you, then that's ONE address, although you mention 3 boxes in your first post. Is that address assigned to a broadband router, or your own machine (with a DSL "modem")? What's the IP of the other machines you mention? Are either one a machine you want to run the client from, or is there a 4th machine in the mix? Before you worry about getting VNC to connect, you need to make sure that the machines in question can route to each other: can you ping from one to the other (and vice-versa)?

If you have DSL, there is a very good chance you have a DSL modem/firewall.
And this device is probably performing NAT: Network Address translation. If
that's the case, two things have to be done:
1) you have to know the real, public IP address of your network (that may
be the 194.x.x.x address)
2) your DSL modem/firewall must recognize the incoming VNC connections and
redirect them to the internal IP addresses.
I think the first step is to go to your ISP and ask them your public IP
address(es), and whether you have NAT, and if so, whether your firewall can
be configured to redirect (aka port forwarding).
Quick explanation of NAT:
your PCs each have a unique IP address, often in the 192.168.0.x range (but
in your case probly the 10.0.0.x range)
your DSL router has two sides: a public (external) side and a private
(internal) side
on the public side it has a real public Internet IP address
on the private side it has a private ('fake') IP address in the same range
as your PCs (maybe 10.0.0.1)
for every packet going through the firewall, the firewall converts the IP
addresses public <--> private
this provides 2 benefits:
- even though you have 3 PCs your ISP only utilizes 1 IP address (and they
are becoming scarce)
- protection from crackers
Think of this like an office phone system. You could have 100 different
internal numbers (extensions) but only 1 phone line.

Re: nmap to port 6001 kills vnc session...
600x is the X server port. It has known vunerabilities (XFree86, for example had a simple one-packet DoS attack on its port; this is probably still present in Xvnc, since it's based on XFree86). The X security is not very strong, either; what's more, people often turn it off (the command 'xhost +'). Unless you are sending X traffic through the Internet, I would suggest that you do not open those ports through your firewall. You certainly don't need them open if you're using only a VNC viewer remotely. According to Mike Miller: > On Thu, 17 May 2001, Scott C. Best wrote: > > > Hello!

How to install VNC on remote machine
I need to install a GUI interface to a W2000 Pro machine so I can administrate it remotely. I think that VNC will be possible to use, since I cannot use Terminal Server because the machine is a workstation and not a server. The problem I have is that it is 6000 miles away and I can only get to it through a VPN tunnel over the Internet. I have already installed Remote Console so I can get to a command prompt on that machine and I can map drive letters to the admin shares C$ and D$. So basically I can do whatever is possible in the way of copying files and giving command line commands. But I cannot run an InstallShield setup.exe program to get the VNC server installed, because that is a GUI thing. Catch 22! So my question is: Is it possible to install the VNC server on that machine without physically travelling overseas to its keyboard? If so, how is it accomplished?? Obviously I am the admin of that machine. /Bo Berglund - 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 -
