Re: OT Virus?
John, There was no other message with the delivery report, just what I posted, which is a little annoying. And no attachment or information on the attachment, by the looks of it whatever automated system rejects the messages does so just because its an .exe file, not necessarily because there is a virus. I have to say I'm 99% sure its from this list, as I'm not on any other lists, and only ever sign up to stuff with a fake hotmail account. And I don't think someone within the company who sent the delivery report has my address as they are a US based company, we're UK, and we don't deal with anyone US based. Also I've been contacted by a few people since posting the original topic that have agreed they think its the list, as they have received similar emails before. Incidentally, since posting that message to the list the emails have stopped, I was receiving about 2 a day, so hopefully someone took notice and cleaned their system.

Virus?
I think someone on this list might have a virus. I keep getting non-delivery reports (see below) when I'm not sending email. I'm fairly sure its not me. a) i don't use a Microsoft email client, b) i don't have the recipients address in my address book and c) I've done 2 full virus scans. The only reason I can think I'm getting these emails, is because someone on this list has my email address and the recipients, in their address book, and the virus is spoofing my address over theirs when it sends the virus. Does anyone deal with FederatedGroup.com? If so it might be worth running a virus scan. Cheers Ben == Triumph International Ltd Arkwright Road, Groundwell, Swindon, SN25 5BE Ben Blackmore I.T.

Using Group Policies Custom ADM files?
Hi, I'm looking at writing my own custom administrative template for VNC, that I can deploy via group policies. But I'm having trouble finding where the registry setting should go. Currently our VNC settings are stored in HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3. However reading the documentation on Microsoft's web site says Approved Registry Key Locations for Group Policy Settings: Computer Policy Settings HKLM\Software\Policies (The preferred location) HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies User Policy Setting: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies HKCU\Software\Policies (The preferred location) Will VNC pick up settings from these registry values? I've tried setting the original VNC location of HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3 but the GP admin screen won't open the adm file correctly when that's set. Any help would be gratefully received Best regards Ben == Triumph International Ltd Arkwright Road, Groundwell, Swindon, SN25 5BE Ben Blackmore I.T.

Re: Connecting 2 Networks that have the same IP Class
Only way is to have the 2 networks on a simluar class of IP, i.e. 10.1.x.x 10.2.x.x set the subnet to 255.255.248.0 put a VPN pipe between the two, and and get 2 routers either end of the broadband connection to route traffic from one network to the other. We use this between our office in London, and in Swindon, basically they look like they are all in one big network, they can access the main server, and we can VNC to them!

Create a shortcut to the dial-up connection, and put it in the windows start menu. If its windows 2000 you can set it to auto connect, and auto re-dial on dropped connection.

Sending Key Commands
Hi, Is there anyway to send key commands when using VNC. I know you can already do 'Send Ctrl+Alt+Delete' from the menu, but I'd like to send 'Ctrl+Esc' or just the 'Windows key', just so I can get the start menu up.

AuthHosts
Hi, I've been messing with the AuthHosts settings and running some tests. I've set -:+192.168. in the registry, but find when I try to connect from my PC, (IP 192.168.60.68) I get Your connection was rejected. However if I set -:+192.168 in the regisry, without the final dot (.) it connects ok. Is this a bug? Why should the last dot stop it from connecting?

Currently we are using the HKLM\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\AuthHosts key to define who can use vnc on the network. Until now we have had no issues. Basically our string looks something like this -:+10.0.60.141:?10.0.31.169:?10.0.20.240:?10.0.20.184: By default all computers can not use vnc, there is one ip (10.0.60.141) which can force accept, and we have listed a whole bunch of computers that can query our network computers for control. Heres the problem. Our string is reaching its max char length of 255. Were at 247 at the moment. To combat this weve moved all our vnc users to ip's between 10.0.60.110 and 10.0.60.119. What were want to do is take out all the individual ip's and just have a range between 10.0.60.110 and 10.0.60.119 in the key. We know that entering a value of ?10.0.60 will mean that all ip's upder 10.0.60.x will be able to query but what i need to know is, will entering a value of 10.0.60.11 work for only that ip address or will it work for 10.0.60.11x (eg. 10.0.60.111, 10.0.60.112, 10.0.60.113, ...) And if not, is there a way to enter a range of ip addresses instead of listing each individual ip. Kinda hard to explain, any help appreciated. Thanks Guys.

it'll work over any connection with TCP/IP. I.e. the host dials out to the internet, and so does the server, as long as you know the servers IP address you can connect.

There is still the question of why it doesn't work after changing the subnet mask to be the same. It is really a TCP/IP problem, not a VNC one. Waiting on the results of the ping as suggested by Dave Warren. Waiting can do a lot here, the mac-adress-tables in all machines (mostly routers) must be updated that the mac address has moved to a new ip-network. This most times goes automatic, specially if the changed machine has send some stuff over the network, like some pings to some machines in old and new network. If the machines are on the same subnet the router is not involved. The only way the MAC would be an issue is if the machine were talking to each other before the move (which it seems they weren't). And the reboot to change the subnet mask (assuming MS Windows) cleared out the local arp cache anyway.

Sending Remote Keyboard Commands
Hi Would it be possible to add the function to send the key commands 'Ctrl' + 'Esc' so you can open the start menu on a remote PC. The trouble I'm currently having is if your viewing a desktop that is the same size as your own, and the task bar is set to hidden (so it pops up when you mouse over), you can't open the remote task bar, before your own task bar pops up, and if you press the windows key on the keyboard, again, your own start menu opens. The only way I can currently do it, is to run the connection at a smaller size, say 1:2, so the remote desktop is smaller, and I can get to the hidden task bar. Does this make sense?

Re: Expert VNC - An Independent Review
I agree, expert users will probably be able to do much of what Expert VNC offers themselves. I reviewed it only to help people with their questions, and to get a better understanding of the product myself. The files that I executed were viewerdemo.exe 126kb and serverdemo.exe 265kb, it appears these are compressed executables, that launch the program, probably putting the files in a temporary directory, not found where yet, but it creates a directory under 'c:\vnc' however it only extracts a readme file to this directory. The only other method I tried to connect to her was me trying to connect to her using my standard VNC. Is it possible to do it another way? If so I'll try that, I haven't played around with VNCs other options to much as we use just the standard VNC over a network here, which works fine anyway, only time I've needed additional functionality was connecting to my friend at uni, and this was the option at hand at the time! I'll try the Add New Client option! I'm not really a VNC expert, I thought it would be a good idea for a basic user like me to review it, then for Joel to get an expert user to review it as well. I just thought it would be useful for someone to demo the program and tell others, as there seemed to be such an uproar about it.

Re: Expert VNC - An Independent Review
snip I think you misread his message. He was just sending information about the program. He does not work for the company that produces the program and he has no conflict of interest. Perhaps you should thank him for his efforts on our behalf. /snip Thank you Mike! My attempt at a review was to help people make their own minds up, if I worked for the company I wouldn't have said at the end of the review that I felt $500 per license was to much! However there are still questions left open that I can not answer, like that of licensing snip This is contrary to the statements made by Joel Bomgaars when asked about the license of ExpertVNC: The scripts and executables of ExpertVNC that are completely separate files are licensed separately under a generic restrictive license. http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2003-May/039005.html From your discription they are not seperate files, but part of the same executable. As the GPL FAQ states: If the modules are included in the same executable file, they are definitely combined in one program. http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#MereAggregation /snip They look like they come bundled in a self extracting executable, just as if they were winzipped then created as a self extracting zip. When you run it, it extracts them, and runs. If I were to say zip all the VNC files up, with a text file with some notes on it or something, then create a self extracting zip, and email it to a friend! Would that break the licensing? How does this work with the GPL? snip Getting into a war about selling code and the GPL shouldn't be anyones focus. Instead we should be concerned that someone is violating the licenses that VNC has been released under. If ExpertVNC chooses to sell a product based on VNC that doesn't violate the GPL license then more power to them. Maybe they will need some changes to VNC in the future that they will release back to the community and everyone wins. Unfortunately it sounds like they are violating the GPL (I'm willing to be proved wrong...) and should release their current code and decide if they want to continue developing it under a GPL license or rewrite it so it doesn't violate the GPL. /snip Indeed, its something that needs to be sorted out between the People at RealVNC and the people at ExpertVNC. As I said in my review I'm no expert on VNC and defiantly not on GPL licensing. This is why I suggested to Joel he get an expert or someone who knows more to review as well.

Expert VNC - An Independent Review
Expert VNC - An Independent Review After Joel Bomgaars posted his topic advertising Expert VNC to the list, there was quite a bit of controversy over it, weather it legal, secure, the cost, etc. I too posted a reply, asking a few questions regarding these issues, at which point Joel offered to give me a demo copy, to test, and give an independent review. So I did! How did I demo the program? Well I have a friend who at Uni in Portsmouth (UK), her net connection is behind a firewall, which allows outgoing traffic, but blocks incoming. She's always having PC problems, and as she isn't very computer literate herself it usually means a trip down to Portsmouth to fix. I've tried to use VNC, but her firewall blocks the connection. So, the day before hearing about Expert VNC, I got a call from her again, apparently she's managed to uninstall her soundcard, and couldn't get it working again. So I was looking at having to go down and see her, and install the soundcard again. However up on hearing about Expert VNC, and being given the opportunity to demo it, I thought I'd give it a try. I emailed her the server demo (which is only 265k), and ran my viewer demo (126k). When she opened the server demo, I gave her my IP address, which she entered into the connection box. This then goes out through her firewall, and connects to my viewer. This means there is pretty good security, you can't connect to a users PC, with out them running the server, and then entering your IP address. Once she's done that, I can control her PC, which is what I did, after 5 minutes, I'd loaded the soundcard drivers back on and had it all working again. So I'll try and clear up some of the questions that were being asked. Is it insecure? Not as far as I can see, although I'm not really an expert in those fields, but the fact the application has to be launched by the end user, who then has to enter your IP address before you can connect makes it as secure as any other remote admin program. Is it legal? Again I'm no expert, but VNC is open source, and distributed under the GNU General Public License and none of the original VNC files have been modified, so as far as I can see, yes! What is the cost? At first I thought the cost was $495 per license, meaning if I wanted to support all 200 workstation on our site, it would cost $99,000. But after running this past Joel, I found that you only need 1 license for every PC that's going to SUPPORT the other workstations, they don't actually need a license, as the software is only installed while your supporting them. A better way of doing this maybe by saying the 'Server' is free, but you need to buy a license for the 'Host'. So, my verdict! Is it useful, yes, for supporting users who are behind a firewall its excellent, and as far as I can see there are no security or legal issues. However, I think the cost per license ($495) is maybe a little on the steep side, I'm sure more people would be interested, if the cost were halved or something, or the pricing scheme re-worked/re-worded, so you get the server for free, but host you pay for. Hope this clears up some of the questions! Ben Blackmore == Triumph International Ltd Arkwright Road, Groundwell, Swindon, SN25 5BE Ben Blackmore I.T.

RE: IS Tool + Inno Setup
Yeah thats what I thought, but I wasn't to sure of the variable, it currently uses {group}\VNC\Administration and as far as I know {group} isn't a windows variable, so I think it must be a variable just for this program, I was wondering if it has a variable for admin group, maybe {admin} or something.

I do see a number of programs that give you the option to make available to all users or current user, so if it's possible, you might want to include that option. People can change the name of the administrator or have multiple administrators on the same machine, to make the menu icons available to only administrators requires more knowledge about user permissions than what I have right now, so in that I couldn't help you.

Re: OT - Network Broadcast
Well some messages are important, and HAVE to be read, rather than just igored, like if the server is going to be rebooted, so we tell people to save their work, otherwise it will be lost. At the moment the message pops up, and they just ignore it, and click ok, without reading it. I don't really mind if they find it annoying or not, if they read it in the 1st place we wouldn't have to do it. And its only for 5 seconds, if they are reading it, the countdown would be gone by the time they read it. == Triumph International Ltd Arkwright Road, Groundwell, Swindon, SN25 5BE Ben Blackmore I.T.

Re: OT - Network Broadcast
I don't want it to go away after X number of seconds on its on, just now allow a user to click 'ok' until that time is up. We only send the message to users it applys to anyway, as we don't do network broadcats to everyone, we insert the machine name, so we can pick and choose. We already do it like this, and it hasn't prompted any phone calls yet! Although thats probably because people don't read them. I was just wondering if people used any other product rather than netsend, as its a bit basic. We have novell, and that has the novel message broadcast, but not all our machines use the novell client, and we're geting rid of it next month anyway. Anyway, don't want to take up more of the lists time resources, as its not a VNC question, thanks for peoples input!

Re: Is this an issue of posting etiquette?
I think it was because we had 1 user, who set his auto reply out of office. So a message went to him, his out of office replied to the list, which was then sent to him, which the out of office replied to again, it went around and around for a whole day, I remember my inbox receiving about 250 emails just from his auto out of office replying to itself. So a change was made to the list, so if an auto out of office situation should happen, it would be sent to the person who sent the original email, rather than the list, so it wouldn't keep replying. Personally I think the list was fine, but it was the auto reply software that was s**t, and should have recognised the list in the headers. Most do this, I know Lotus Scrotes does!

Re: Best VNC?
Another thing I've noticed with VNC is the CPU usage, on PCs you connect to. I have performance monitor running on our NT4 server, and that runs along quite happily at 7% until you VNC to it, then it seems to jump to about 97%. Is this normal? Anyway I can lower it? It kinda grinds to a halt, the system is a little old, but not to bad, 256mb ram, 1ghz etc. But its the same on my home PCs, which are 2ghz, win2000. == Triumph International Ltd Arkwright Road, Groundwell, Swindon, SN25 5BE Ben Blackmore I.T.

Caps Lock On/Off?
Hi, I just noticed something when controlling a users PC, I was entering the password, in what I thought was lowercase, as my caps lock was off, and it wouldn't accept it, I spend ages trying to see what was wrong, I decided to try with my caps lock on, and it worked. Only when I was typing a message to the user in notepad, did I notice that when my caps lock was off, it was printing capitals, and when mine was on it was lowercase. I physically went to the PC, and her caps lock was on, when I turned mine on, hers turned off. It seems if you connect, and the host machine has caps lock on, and you don't, it takes the host settings, then if you turn yours on, it turns the hosts off! Is it meant to do this, or is it a bug? ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list

For the maillist option to set the reply to the poster or to the list, I prefer the reply to be to the list, to keep the discussion going and to also get the answers in the archive. I agree, if its kept in the mailing list, it helps others who might see it, and have a simular problem. Best way to deal with this is just to set a rule in your mail client, and tell it to delete the mail from the server, you don't even have to download it. Thats what I've done.

Gateway Possibilities?
Hi, Is it pissible to use VNC as a gateway? Like PC Anywhere used to be able to (version 9 I think, they removed it from version 10) One of the places I work for has a proxy server, about 10 other PCs look at the net through this PC. Is it possible to install VNC on the server, then install it on the 10 other PCs behind the proxy server, and for me to be at home, and connect through the server, and user 1 of the 10 other PCs? I spose its kinda like a pass through server. Cheers Ben ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list

Re: Silent Installation On Users Workstations
Ok I found it, under the http://www.darkage.co.uk/vnc/howto/setupfp.htm page. I finally manage to get it to work, but it was looking for the password in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default] but my password isn't under that location, in fact that registery location is blank. All my settings are under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default]. So I had to export the password from there, then import it to the local_machine. Should they be in the location suggested? Should I move all the settings from local_user to local_machine? I guess local_machine means that no matter what user logs on, all the settings will be the same, where as local_user is specific to that user? I also want to add the following AllowEditClients = REG_DWORD 0x AllowProperties = REG_DWORD 0x AllowShutdown = REG_DWORD 0x Should these go under local_machine, or local_user? I have them currently working under local_user.
