There are a couple of ways to get around this problem by modifying the
source.
a) Comment out the lines in vncClient.cpp that filters out loopback
connections:
/*
// By default we filter out local loop connections, because
they're pointless
if (!m_server->LoopbackOk())
{
char *localname = strdup(m_socket->GetSockName());
char *remotename = strdup(m_socket->GetPeerName());
// Check that the local & remote names are different!
if ((localname != NULL) && (remotename != NULL))
{
BOOL ok = strcmp(localname, remotename) != 0;
if (localname != NULL)
free(localname);
if (remotename != NULL)
free(remotename);
if (!ok)
{
log.Print(LL_CONNERR, VNCLOG("loopback
connection attempted - client rejected\n"));
// Send an error message to the client
CARD32 auth_val =
Swap32IfLE(rfbConnFailed);
char *errmsg = "Local loop-back
connections are disabled.";
CARD32 errlen =
Swap32IfLE(strlen(errmsg));
if (!m_socket->SendExact((char
*)&auth_val, sizeof(auth_val)))
return FALSE;
if (!m_socket->SendExact((char
*)&errlen, sizeof(errlen)))
return FALSE;
m_socket->SendExact(errmsg,
strlen(errmsg));
return FALSE;
}
}
}
*/
or, b) change the lines in vncProperties.cpp (around line 677) that
allows/disables loopback connections.
Regarding registry keys, it seems that the windows vnc server sets a key
named 'AllowLoopback' to 'false', so I'm not too sure how well editing
the registry would work without modifying the code where the key gets
set.

Subject: Local loop-back connection are diabled
Hello
I just installed VNC yesterday , and i am having a
problem to test it in my local machine, however i did
not have any problems installing it , I have read the
documations , and I have read that i may need to
modify my machine registry ,however i have no idea how
to do it because i have never modify or know how to
edit this Registry , and I have a Zone Alram firwall
pro in my machine , do you think would be a problem
with this firewall? how can i modify the Registry ? do
you have sort of step by step of how to do that ?
Thanks
hear from you soon
