I found the fix, Tracy. It doesn't make sense, either. I created the DWORD value under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/ORL/WinVNC3/ as well as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/ORL/WinVNC3/Default And it now disconnects any secondary connection attempts. I found the following reference in the "History.txt" file accompanying the Windows source files, which seems to suggest that this value should be read from the top-level key instead of "Default". "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/ORL/WinVNC3/ConnectPriority setting can take one of three values: 0 - new, non-shared incoming connections kick off existing ones. 1 - all incoming connections are treated as shared, regardless of the -shared viewer option. 2 - new, non-shared incoming connections will be refused if a current connection exists." What this doesn't explain is why setting ConnectPriority to 1 within the .Default key successfully allows shared connections. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tracy Millar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday/2002 January 24 10:08 Subject: Re: ConnectPriority - Registry info : Hi there, : : I actually made the changes on my server to reflect what Alex has and still : the same results, the VNC server connection gets dumped when a second : connection is attempted. : : Tracy : : ---------- Original Text ---------- : : From: "Alex Angelopoulos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, on 2002/01/23 1:23 PM: : To: iSMTP@HQNT11@Servers[<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>],Tracy Millar@MIS : SIG@IDRC CRDI : : COMPARISON OF REGISTRY VALUES : : (SUMMARY NOTE: Tracy is having an issue with having a VNC server connection : dumped when someone else connects to the same system. : She has, as can be seen, created the ConnectPriority DWORD with a value of : "2", restarted the server, etc.) : : Just a quick note - I am going to try checking this out on my system, but I : did a quick check on the registry values.
