VNC / Firewall
What is the simple way to get out when only a limited amount of ports are open. I know that you set the port # on the server side but how do you go about setting the port on the viewer side ?

VNC through a firewall.
I too am trying to run VNC through a firewall. Everything was fine connecting out to my server at my home computer and vice versa until we implemented a new firewall. I understand that there's some Java viewer out there that would let me communicate through the firewall by setting up some kind of virtual proxy between the server and the viewer thus allowing me to talk over a common open Port. Any help would be greatly appreciated -Original Message- From: Pollett, Marc [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2001 1:25 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: I'm having trouble connecting to a server outside my firewall. Both server and workstation are WinNT4 SP5. Server is running latest WinVNC. When I try to connect using java client, I get java.io.eofexception error (after about 5 minutes). Server can be accessed no problem from outside the firewall. After checking firewall logs, no apparent problems with either web or communication ports (58xx and 59xx), though workstation seems to be trying to use port 137 as well. When addressing server, I used ip instead of server name, so I'm not sure why it's trying to use NetBIOS port (137). BTW, vncviewer doesn't work either. cheers marc - 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 -
VNC as a KVM switch
I noticed my self utilizing VNC very often recently instead of my KVM switch. I'm setting up another server room now and am seriously thinking of substituting with VNC and doing w/o a KVM altogether. Especially with VNC Commander where I can see more then one machine at a time. The only problem is when configuring the IP addresses when I will obviously not have any access. Any ideas on possibility to get around that? Some thing like accessing directly to a MAC address! Also does anyone have any experience with dual monitor support in VNC ? I know there is some contribution out there that supports it.

Try connecting from work via "winvnc -connect "IP address" ". If that doesn't work see where it stops. Run "netstat -n" and see if it established a connection etc. In this case it should communicate on port 5500. Good Luck!

Are u trying to imply that it will establish the connection with port 5400 and then hand it over to 5500?

RE: VNC Access to pcs behind firewalls
Then you can either do the -connect option (run "winvnc -connect ipaddress/hos)from the server side, or map port 5800 and 5900 at the firewall to the particular workstation. If you have more then one workstation that you are trying to connect to, then you will need to configure each workstation to listen on a different port then the default 5800 and 5900. The easiest way to set this would be through the display setting in the properties. Note the port # will be the display value plus 5800. So for example if you set it to listen with display 10 you will enter at the viewer "vncviewer ipaddress:5810". Read up in the documents for more detail.

RE: How to Set AllowLoopback?
Yes, you would need to create it. Just run regedit and browse out to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3]. In the right side of the screen right click and create a dword key called "AllowLoopback" with a value of 1. Restart the service and it will work. Be aware when you use loopback that the monitor will indeed go into a loop and depending on the resources of your computer it might crash your system because of this. -Original Message- From: James Pifer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 1:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How to Set AllowLoopback?

Putting the viewer in listening mode, and having the server connect out of a secured LAN is an entirely different story, and I wonder why AT&T added that feature, but that's probably due to my lack of imagination. -- Harmen http://www1.tip.nl/~t515027/ - 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 - - 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 -
RE: Remote Login
Net strat will work locally but not remotely. You will need the "Netsvc" utility off the Resource kit to remotely manage services. But Mauro is right, you will sometimes need to reboot or log out to get the service to start. Z. -Original Message- From: Kelly F.

You can view the Service name with the Netsvc utility "netsvc /list \\computername.

RE: Remote Login redux?
The issue is how to install "remotely" as a service. So you don't have to visit the machine in person. It's possible by: 1) Copying the correct files (You only need three and can be placed anyware - even the Omnithread.dll) to the remote computer 2) Adding the registry key to the remote computer. Again, in my experience only the password key is necessary) 3)Instaling as a service (simplest method: at \\computername etc. "c:\%\winvnc.exe" -install) to the remote computer.

To run winvnc as a service on NT (someone please fill in the gaps) 1) You must first of course do an install of vnc 2) then you must install the service (I found this in a couple of different flavors from the start menu) 3) and start the service running. 4) which will result in you being prompted for a password so far so good. Now if I log out and then try to use the vncviewer to view the NT box I am confronted with the following issues: a) it appears that I have set up a server for the administrator with the admin password. but I want the box to use NT authentication. the FAQs say there is supposed to be a helper app that does this but leaves it there in essence (I am a unix guy it apparently shows) I want to set this up just as I would set it up for inetd.. b) the vnc session comes up if I give the password set, without apparently inquiring of the username... c) When it does come up I get a ctl-alt-del login screen. but how can I issue thi sequence without invoking it on my PC "Kelly F.

RE: Remote Login redux?
your Question: How do I use NT user account authentication instead of the single passwd I set when I started the service? Supposedly, the newest version of VNC should support this thru the VNC helper in the start menu. Your question: How do I set up the service so NT users can log in as themselves, not as the Administrator? Please explain better.. Your question: How do I enter Ctl-Alt-Del at a vnc window w/o the key sequence being read by the current PC?

RE: How to install VNC on remote machine
You forgot to mention that you will need to use some utility to run those commands on the remote machine. Also would anybody know of a batch file that does this( another utility might be needed to add registry setting remotely thru a batch file ). Since we sometimes need to take control remotely it would be nice if we can just run a batch file and preferably run another batch file to undo the installation (Uninstall the files and service). The second batch file would be something like this: "remote command" net stop winvnc winvnc -remove Del c:\winvnc c:\vnc.dll c:\omnithread.dll "remote registry command" del "local machine\vnc hive etc." -Original Message- From: Jim Millard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2001 10:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How to install VNC on remote machine >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?? 1) install the package to your own local machine 2) start the WinVNC server with the password you want on the remote machine 3) copy the contents of the local directory to the remote machine 4) copy %windir%\system32\omnithread_rt.dll to the remote machine 5) on the remote console, run "winvnc -install" (no quotes) 6) using regedt32, open the remote machine's registry and copy *exactly* the following registry entry from your box (you'll have to create some keys): Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default Value: Password Type: BINARY Content: password hash from your machine 7) on the remote console, run 'net start "vnc server"' It should let you connect just fine.
