If you have access to the remote PC, you should see a VNC icon from the service helper in the system tray. Right click on it and set your password from there.
If you don't have access to the remote PC, you should install VNC server locally. Then do as described above to set the password. Then export the registry keys: HK_LM\Software\ORL\* HK_CU\Software\ORL\* Import them to the remote machine. Then restart the service. -----Original Message----- From: Simon Lowe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 10:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: VNC Install Woes Thanks Michael, gave that a go but it still didn't ask me for a password and I'm still getting the 'no incoming connections allowed until a default password is set' error. Regards, Simon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 February 2002 15:56 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: VNC Install Woes Here is something to try. Uninstall and them search the registry for the key "ORL" and delete all referen ces to "ORL" and "VNC". Then Reinstall. Right after you select the i"nstall as service" also select the "Install service helper". See if that helps. Have a Good Day, Michael L. "Simon Lowe" <simon.lowe@level-three.

I'm trying to install VNC on a remote server running Windows 2000 Server, I have access to it at the moment with Terminal Services, but want VNC there as a backup for the times Terminal Services goes wrong. I've downloaded both current versions, 3.3.3r9 and 3.3.3r7. I've downloaded and tried both current versions (3.3.3r9 and 3.3.3r7) - shut down the service and uninstalled between tries of course, but I find I am unable to get it to work properly. I want to install it as a service, so I run 'Install VNC Service', I then start the service through Administrative Tools > Services but I'm not asked for a default password. I've also tried (on removing and uninstalling), rebooting rather than starting the service manually but this didn't ask me for a password either. When I then try to connect to the server I get a message saying that there is no default password set and that incoming connections are not accepted until a default password is set. I've tried exactly the same process on a Win2K server in the office, this one immediately asked for a password on starting the service and I can connect no problem. There is a firewall on the remote system, but the required port is open - I can get through to it, as explained above it tells me there is no password, so it is not a firewall issue. I've also tried running the VNC Application and setting a default password, but I still get the error message when trying to access the server. Does VNC perhaps just not like being installed from Terminal Services? I really hope somebody can help, this problem is really driving me mad ;) Regards, Simon Lowe --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
