Heyaz. Just to communicate my workaround:
1. Install and activate your preferred VNC Server on your dual-monitor
PC
2. Install EchoVNC on that same PC, register it as a service, and
configure it to "offload" it's VNC sessions to the server you installed
in step #1.
3. Install your preferred VNC Viewer on your Viewer PC.
4. Install EchoVNC on that PC as well, this time telling it to work with
the Viewer you installed in step #3.
Now when you connect from your Viewer to Server, all EchoVNC
does is help make the connection "firewall friendly". The other VNC
applications handle all the data, and have no idea about firewalls.
Also, of course, the same approach works for Remote Desktop
and RAdmin connections.
Don't misunderstand: I will be adding dual monitor support in a future
release, especially for InstantVNC that doesn't have this workaround.
But for now...
cheers,
Scott
