Defaulting "Command Line" options for non-Admin Users
Hi All,
I have a simple home network with 2 PCs both running VNC4 servers/viewers.
This works incredibly well and, by manipulating my FW ports, I can access (and
frequently do) either machine via the Internet. My only issue (and it's minor)
is that, logged-on as an XP "Power User", with VNC running as a service, the
"Desktop Settings" are not removed when I am connected. They are when I am
logged-on as "Administrator". I have tried this command-line ("runas"
"Administrator") whilst logged-on via my regular "Power User" User account,
""C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\winvnc4.exe" -register DisableEffects=1
RemovePattern=1 RemoveWallpaper=1" (ignore outer quotes) to try and make the
settings stick during "registration", but to no avail. (Perhaps I have the
wrong syntax as there are no specific examples documented?) The service
registers OK but the command line options have no apparent effect; for
example, my "Wallpaper" is still sent to the connecting VNC viewer.
My only concern is that, particularly over slow connections, removal of
these "Desktop Settings" would surely increase the performance. However, I
would not wish to be logged-on as an "Administrator" all the time simply to
speed-up the VNC connection when it's used (regularly but not daily) and, as
it's still working (extremely reliably - a fantastic program!), will happily
tolerate the reduced speed when I need to unless there's a known fix or
workaround? Thanks for any advice.
Cheers, Neil.

RE: Listening to two Servers at once
There is no need at all to do that, though. Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. -Original Message- To run multiple listeners try the following vncviewer -listen so you can do : vncviewer -listen 5500 vncviewer -listen 5501 vncviewer -listen 5502 and this will open up multiple listeners ready for connections. You will need to forward for each port in your firewall or router if you use one.

RE: Listening to two Servers at once
Andrew, The number of servers you can connect to a single listening viewer is limited only by system resources. You don't need to run multiple viewers.

Re: linux vnc listening client and linux vnc server
Heres a little bit to get you started let me know if you need more help. 1. To start the viewer in listen mode type the following on your box. vncviewer -listen (where is a port number if you leave it blank I believe it will default to 5500) 2. Forward your router port according to the port number from step 1 3. on your friends computer (OYFC): install vnc, have him/her run vncpasswd and set the password 4. OYFC: run "vncserver" 5. OYFC: run "vncconfig -connect YY: " where Y is your hostname or Public IP and is the port you are listening on. Note: this will give you a new Xsession still you will not be able to see what your friend sees. To do that you would need to setup remoting the ) display. See Here for specifics of that. http://www.realvnc.com/v4/x0.html then this would be running all the time instead of step 3 you would just need step 4. OK?

Re: No Port-forwarding config Enterprise Ed?
Romel: Heya; sorry for the late reply: I would like to know if this feature will eliminate the Firewall Setting or Port Forwarding configuration to establish connection between firewalled computers or computers using broadband connections. I would like to know also if there is something similar apps like KaboodleProxy(works under Linux only) for Windows platform. To clarify: the KaboodleProxy *server* runs on Linux only right now (we're working on a Windows port). The KaboodleProxy *client* is built-into the Kaboodle freeware app, which is built for Windows (though it also works on Linux via Wine). Hope that helps... -Scott ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list

linux vnc listening client and linux vnc server
HI! I start giving up... I read through some of the mails, but nothing that matches my problem... I have two linux computers. One runs behind an firewall where outgoing ports should be allowed (well, he can play games that need port 1024+) The other computer has an accessible firewall. I planned to temporarily open an port in my firewall and forward it to my machine where the vncviewer is running in listening mode. How can I tell my friend with one command to get his server ready so that i can tell him/show him what needs to be done on his computer? Windows has the nice "add new client" feature for the vnc-server that allows it easily - but I have not seen any of this settings for the linux server(s)... I do/can not use the ssh thing - there must be an easier way that is at least basically secure... (and for Win/Win connections you do not often have the ssh "option"... So in short: My linux box: vnc-viewer (listening mode) with free port Other linux box: vnc-server(?) with Win equivalent of "Add new Client" and not-changeable firewall How to do this? Help appreciated... Thank you! Regards, Bigfoot29 ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
Mobile Java Viewer
Angelo, Thanks for your response.. To clarify this, I can access the VNC Server 3.3.7 (on a Win2000 Server) using the regular VNC Viewer 4.0 (set up on Port 5903) as well as a current IE 6 Browser via the Port 5803 from a WinXP SP2 PC without any problems. Therefore, I don't believe the problems is with the Server or the connectivity or firewall, etc.. I suspect it's the Browser in the Motorola A1000 that is not playing ball. Regards, Rosti. Hi all, I have set up access to my PC for a Java Viewer (Port 5800,etc..) and connected from a Motorola A1000 phone that has the ability to browse the Net (on the "3" Network) and all seems fine, in as much as I seem to connect and get the sign-on screen, I enter my password, click the Submit button, but this is as far as I get. Clicking the Submit button seems to be completely ignored. Do I need some other settings on the Server side? The Motorola claims to be running Symbian 7.0 OS, and the Browser is apparently Opera (nor sure of the version number). If anyone could shed some light on this, I would appreciate it.
