I just wanted to update everyone on the issue I was having with local loop-back disabled messages when trying to portforward over SSH2.
I did the following to resolve the issue. I had to add the DWORD value "AllowLoopback=1" to the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WINVNC3" key on both the client and server computers. No where in the documentation did it state the loop-back needed to be enabled on both systems. I am now able to use portforwarding over SSH2 to make a VNC connection. I am very happy but I do have one comment to add. It would be helpful if all the default "Advanced Options" DWORD values were added to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WINVNC3" registry key when you run "Install Default Registry Settings" under the "Administrator Tools" menu. Running this command only installs the VNCHOOKS in the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ORL\VNCHooks\Application_Prefs" of the registry. Currently, if anyone wants to change the default Advance options, they have to manually add and modify the DWORD in the registry. It would be much easier to have all DWORD values in place and just modify the value of the DWORD that needed to be changed. I understand that someone might want to further customize the registry based on default user, per-user per-Global user or per-machine. If this is the case, then manually moving DWORD values from the above mentioned location to the desired location would be needed. I also think it would be easy to have a Advanced Option Gui that would be able to update the registry once values have been selected for each of the advanced options. These changes can be based on Per-Global User, Default User, Per-User or Per-Machine.
