I just install v3.3.3r9 onto all of the machines on my LAN at home (All running Windows 2000). Since I only plan to use VNC to avoid having to get out of my chair all night :), I want to restrict incoming connections to only machines on the LAN that belong to me, e.g., not my roomate or anything on the Internet.
To test this setup, I created an AuthHosts value in HKLM\Software\ORL\WinVNC3 to read: AuthHosts = -:+192.168.100.1: But when my roommate tries to connect from his PC, it allows the connection. The logging console window shows: D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\vncServer.cpp : authhosts set to "-:+192.168.100.1:" D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\vncProperties.cpp : clearing user settings D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\vncPasswd.h : PASSWD : FromClear called D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\vncProperties.cpp : loading DEFAULT local settings D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\vncServer.cpp : trying port number 5900 Sun Mar 10 17:51:22 2002 D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\VSocket.cpp : closing socket Sun Mar 10 17:51:24 2002 D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\VSocket.cpp : closing socket D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\vncSockConnect.cpp : started socket connection thread Sun Mar 10 17:51:25 2002 D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\VSocket.cpp : closing socket D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\vncPasswd.h : PASSWD : ToText called D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\WinVNC.cpp : message 275 recieved D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\vncHTTPConnect.cpp : started HTTP server thread D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\WinVNC.cpp : message 84 recieved D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\vncMenu.cpp : usernames : old="", new="" Sun Mar 10 17:51:261 2002 D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\vncSockConnect.cpp : accepted connection from 192.168.200.1 D:\ORL\vss\winvnc\vncClient.cpp : vncClient() executing...

VNC logs that it properly read authhosts to whatever I set it, then allows anyone from anywhere to connect. I assume I am doing something wrong, but I followed examples from this lists archives and it still isn't functioning.
