RE : Starting VNCViewer by right clicking on Machine in Network
I have created the registry entries and the .cmd file described, but my Win2K system will not run the Viewer from a right click on the network name. The new startvnc.cmd file is located in the root directory (c:\). Win2K displays a window and reports that it cannot locate the file .exe, and wants me to locate it.

I'd like to know where you'd found documentation about the use/syntax in this particular registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\ The .cmd file is used to trim off the first \\ from %D.

My brother came up with this. I've only tested this on Windows 2000 and it works great. Sometimes the simple stuff is really elegant... Here is a registry key to import: -cut here vnc.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\VNC] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\VNC\command] @=c:\\startvnc.cmd \%D\ --- cut here Here is the command file to launch VNCVIEWER - name it startvnc.cmd or change the name in the registry key. cut here--- startvnc.cmd set addr=%1 start C:\Progra~1\RealVNC\vncviewer.exe %addr:~3,-1%:5900 exit cut heree--- Just import the registry key, copy the above commands to a file named c:\startvnc.cmd. That's all there is to it. This depends on the NETBIOS name of the computer being the same as the DNS name, which is the default. Hope someone finds this useful.

xp home limited user no vnc

Blue screenwatch
A linux/tightvnc newbie here. I want to use tightvnc to link my win2k desktop to our mandrake linux server (internal network). I am sure I have a session, put in the password, and I have connection info which says I have a connection - but all I get is a blue screen with a watch cursor - not matter how long I wait it is not going any further. I have tried logging out at the server, or being logged on - makes no difference. can anyone offer straightforward help? thanks alan dunn ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list

Re: Apparent socket problem
Elwin, Check that both machines have TCP setup correctly. If it seems to be setup OK but doesn't work then try removing and reinstalling the TCP stack.

Please send replies to the list. Alan Dunn said: Thank you for responding. In the log I found this which looked like the problem zone: Fonttranssocketunixconnect: can't connect errorno=2 failed to set default font path 'unix/:7100' Fatal server error could not open default font fixed Check that your font server (I believe Mandrake uses xfs) is running. You could also set the paths in the vncserver script directly to the fonts, but then you lose the features of the font server.

This sounds like a bug in the 4.0b4 unix viewer whereby the F8 menu won't
pop up
when either caps lock or num lock are on. The following simple patch should
fix it:

DOS command window problem for Windows 2000
I have seen several people in the past commenting that they have no cursor control in DOS windows when using VNC. The only solution I saw was to click command prompt instead of Start..Run...cmd. This does not work for me. I am running VNC from Windows XP to log into a Windows 2000 machine. The DOS window appears but typing in it or pressing ENTER is very sporadic. ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
