Mr.Molnar:
Hello! I'm trying to reproduce "Problem 1" below. Can you tell me:
1. Exactly what version of echoWare DLL is running?
2. Exactly what flavor of Windows OS are you using where the problem
can re-appear?
3. When you reboot the machine (and it fails to reconnect), is there
a connection from your PC to your echoServer established (i.e., if
you run "netstat -an", can you see an established connection)?
4. When you reboot the machine (and it fails to reconnect), do you
reboot to the login prompt, or directly into a default user?
thanks,
Scott

Hello,
I am having a couple of issues getting an echoware-enabled VNC
application to work exactly as I need. It seems that each variant
I have tried using has an issue that prevents it from entirely
suiting my needs. I need to be able to access a machine whether it
is logged in or not and then be able to log back out of it after I
am done doing what I needed to do. I guess I have no choice but to
run whatever program I use as a service.
Problem 1:
I decided to try running TightVNC with the echoware version
overlayed. It works great except for one weird issue. It connects
to the echoserver just fine, even through logins and
logouts...until you reboot the machine. Once the machine is
rebooted, it does not connect back up to the echoserver until you
log back into the machine locally. The problem must lie within the
echoware portion of the TightVNC distribution because I can still
access the machine directly via port forwarding in the same
situation. I tried the beta version of the echoware-tightVNC and
that did not resolve the issue. I have tried it on more than one
machine so that does not appear to be the issue either. I have
also mixed and matched various base versions of TightVNC and that
didn't seem to help either (though it seems each version of
TightVNC has its own weird little bugs, varying from failure to
replace the wallpaper after disconnect to the inability to properly
associate the locations of desktop and my documents during file
transfers). After many attempts at getting this solution to work,
I decided to try something else. This brings me to problem 2.
Problem 2:
I read something in the archived mailing list here that suggested
running echoVNC as a service using Microsoft's srvany utility.
This seemed like a great solution because I prefer UltraVNC over
TightVNC anyways, and this method would let me choose. I got
everything up and running and it was free of ALL the bugs I was
experiencing in the TightVNC variation. I ran into a new bug,
however. This one is a little weird, though I am pretty sure it
has something to do with running the application as a service when
it wasn't designed to do so. I can log into a logged off machine
the first time, no problem. After I am done, I log the machine out
and disconnect. Now, I log back into the logged-off machine
again. No problems here. Now I try to log off the machine before
I disconnect again. It won't let me. You can't restart, shut
down, log off, nothin. The only way to get it to log off or
restart is to hit ctrl alt delete and terminate echovnc.exe. Once
you terminate it, you can log off or reboot as normal. Only
problem with this is that now if you log off, you will not be able
to connect again because the service isn't running.
Does anyone have any idea how to a.) fix the problem with one of
the two solution methods or b.)know another method that I can try?
I would really appreciate any help anyone has to offer. This
echoserver based VNC thing is absolutely awesome. It is wonderful
not having to configure ports and not having to worry about dynamic
IPs. Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long read. If you need
any more information please ask.
Thanks again,
Ken Molnar
