How does one keep vnc server running as a service all the time?

2004-05-15 Thread George Cordahi
Hi VNC experts: I'm stumped again. I am trying to run VNC server as a service on my XP Home machine. I have 3 users defined on the machine. All users have administrative rights. I want the VNC server to run all the time, everytime. I want it available whether any user is logged in, or not. [That

I'm using VNC4beta in WinXP. I've just tested with Eclipse 2.1.3 but I don't have this server crash problem. I do have a little popup saying "Missing semicolon". Have you tried to close other unnecessary programmes in the back ground and see if one of them is in conflict with E

VNC 4beta writes to event log. No idea for 3.3.3 which is actually a very old version. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: vendredi 14 mai 2004 22:27 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Using 3.3.3, is there a Log? Is there a log kept to show

Actually, you're using Win2k, right? So there's no such "Fast user switching" unless you're using a twisted feature. Your so-called "logon" screensaver (there's no such thing as a matter of fact) is just a screensaver with password protection, right? Try to change the screensav

Don't really see what you meant or what the problem is. If you don't a PC to listen, just close down the listening daemon. OTOH, the VNC connection is initiated in server side. You have to choose (add) what viewer sees your screen. If you don't want PC's in a subnet to see your scree

You didn't say what www.gotomyvnc.com gives. And you mean the VNC icon is present is system tray? Check by whom the VNC service is started. By local system account or a user? -Original Message- From: George Cordahi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: samedi 15 mai 2004 16:

When you deploy other applications such as word processor or spread sheet (no name and no ads, please :) ), how did you do? Recently there's a user talking about using psexec from SysInternal to "push" VNC to remote machine. Maybe you could take a look at that. -Original Me

If your VNC's are connected across Internet, that would be quite hard because Windows doesn't support NFS nor does it accept "mounting" an ftp directory as a disk drive .. Maybe you have to setup a VPN tunnel. Then share your local CD drive so then remote machine could moun

Waahh! It's really a nasty bug. And the solution is so tricky! No wonder this has always been a "mystery" why sometimes NIS 2003 works and sometimes doesn't. This precious info should be put in the FAQ or trouble shooting web page too. -Original Message- From: E. Sprow

In response to your questions: When www.gotomyvnc.com does not detect a connection, it says: is not responding on Display 4. When it works (after the service is manually stopped and restarted), I get xx.xx.xxx.xxx is accepting connections on Display 4 (TCP port 5904). In all cases, (ie whether
