I have a question along the same lines. The syntax used for AuthHosts is +[ip-address-template] ?[ip-address-template] -[ip-address-template]
I know the ? means it asks the user if they want to accept the incoming connection, but what's the difference between the + and - (plus & minus) it doesn't explain what they do under http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html Cheers Ben ========================================================== Triumph International Ltd Arkwright Road, Groundwell, Swindon, SN25 5BE Ben Blackmore I.T.

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.
