Heyaz. So I'm using Kaboodle (I know, shocking) on my
Windoze box to get the VNC server listening to port-80 (I'm
adding an "Autostart" button to it, so users can just dial in
any port they want and click this button to get the service
running without having to fiddle with the registry).
Using fport (www.foundstone.com), I can verify that
the WinVNC service is listening to the port I specify. Using
telnet on another LAN machine, I can verify that it's accepting
connections. My problem is getting the viewer to connect to it.
Back in January, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> posted the Viewer
formula as:
Display Number = [desired port number] - 5900 + 65536
So one would think that display number 59716 should be
used to connect to a port-80 VNC service. So I tried that with
the Tridia Viewer (all that there was on my spare Win98 machine
at the time) and the Chromatix viewer on my Mac. The 59716 number
didn't work on either. Display number "-5820" *did* work on the
TridiaVNC viewer, but not on the Chromatix. So it seems that the
Display Number setting is version and OS specific.
So I was curious: what works for you? If your running
the TightVNC viewer on *nix, does -5820 or 59716 work, or both?
Same question for AT&T on Win32, etc.
Any data appreciated. I'm hoping that we can find a large
common denominator that we can use to advise the many newcomers
who seem to be asking this question lately. Thanks!
