Re: VNC Server off when I log off
Yes you can with a hack Setup USER MODE to Auto Start on a different port :-) per user. You must be doing a switch user instead of a logout :-) Steve B. Scott Smith wrote: You can't.

Re: Run Multiple VNC Services on One Windows XP Machine
you can run multiple vnc sessions but they will show the same display screen vnc shows windows terminal display 0 which is why there is a problem with fast-user-switching if I log in as user1 then do a logoutswitch user session 0 is still in use by user1 if a second user2 logs in and is active a problem occurs when you vnc to the station it connects to session 0 logging the second user out of their session and the vnc session will go back to the login screen now you could set up user mode server for each user to access that logged in users session of course on a different port to not knock out that user2 session but I do not believe each user can be logged in at the same time please test and report your findings :-) steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Steve Thanks for your help.

Re: windows xp service pack 2 (Corne Beerse) Well then I guess the question would then be, how to get more licenses for the XP box. It seems that M$ does not allow more desktop connections on XP Pro sp 2, no matter licensing, but perhaps I am wrong. thanks, aw Anthony Watson wrote: I thought that VNC would allow me to bypass the terminal services limitation built into XP service pack 2, but the free version of VNC I downloaded kicked one user off, when another VNC connection was initiated. Does the Personal or Enterprise version have this limitation or will it be able to maintain multiple connections? There is a huge difference between vnc and rdp on msWindows: RDP can give you a new desktop for each connection. The number of those desktops is limited by license. For what its worth, rdp can also connect to the existing destkop, where it consumes an rdp license. Hence I have the feeling the rdp licenses is (also) restricted by the number of connections. VNC on msWindows gives access to an existing desktop. By default the number of vnc connections is limited for security reasons. This is configurable to a shared desktop, see the vnc server properties on the deskop at hand for details. For what its worth, vnc can also connect to running rdp sessions, provided a vncserver is running in there (start the user-mode-vnc-server) and there is no port conflict between multiple vnc sessions: they all default to port 5900. Better to switch the vnc-server in an rdp session to a higher port (5901, 5902 and so on).

a) setup your stations and D-Link with STATIC Internal IPs so you know which station is which for your portforwarding b) visit www.portforward.com to find the specific steps to get your two firewalls to forward the ports to the stations http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm c)EXAMPLE at modem forward port 15900 to D-Link static IP forward at D-Link port 15900 to server port 5901 have server listen on 5901 at modem forward port 25900 to D-Link static IP forward at D-Link port 25900 to wireless port 5902 have wireless listen on 5902 at modem forward port 35900 to D-Link static IP forward at D-Link port 35900 to desktop port 5903 have desktop listen on 5903 substitute port numbers as required Steve james wrote: Hi Group Im trying to get this RealVNC working, infact Im trying to get any kind of remote desktop connection working. Nothing seems to be connecting and I cant understand why. Im not any kind of network king but Ill have a go. I really just want to confirm that Im going the right way around setting this network up for RealVNC. First of all Im sure anyone who's read my previous questions will understand that I have a network of three computers and one setup as a kind of server. I say 'kind of server' because it isnt really a server it just simply is XP Pro with a network card and shared drives and Ive allowed my other two computers through on the internal network to remote desktop to it. Since Ive had advice from various people on here on how I might get this thing working Ive managed to get my ISP to assign me a static IP address which will make things a little easier to setup. Ive also installed IIS because everything was pointing that way to setup a VPN although I cant get that working either. I was wondering if RealVPN requires this VPN Tunnel connection to be connected before it will work? Can someone confirm that for me? Im also a little uncertain about having 2 DHCP servers on my network. The first being a Voyager 205 modem which connects to my ADSL and the second a D-LINK 625 router which has wireless capabilities needed to connect one of my computers on the network. I remember having problems if I turn one off acting as a DHCP as the router of the modem wouldnt work. With this setup is it ok to have them both acting as DHCP or will that cause problems for RealVNC. The modem seems to asign my modem with a basic internal IP and then the router assigns my computers on the network the internal IP's Ive requested of it ie 192.168.0.150 ...151...152. I seem to have to reflect a port forwarding on both my modem and router so if the modem port forwarded the request for say port 48620 to internal port 48620 on IP 192.168.0.151 (which is the PC I want to connect to acting as a basic server) I would also need to reflect this on my router aswel. Modem referes to this as NAT table and the router referes to it as vurtal server. I take it these are the same (port forwarding)? I can successfully use Windows RDC, VPN, and RealVNC internally so I know it is setup right. I just need to understand why I cant communicate with my PC over the internet from my g/f's PC at her place. Everything I try comes up as unable to connect. I can ping my IP address from her PC but connecting is a different story. Can anyone give me a clue as to how I go about getting this to work.

http/java is always 100 less than vnc port PARESH MASANI wrote: Hi Friends, I have noted few things in real VNC. Let me know if i missing or misunderstood something. When session is created on server (say UNIX server)it will have three types of ports HTTP/JAVA, VNC and X11. From client(or windows side) if i wants to connect that created session,i use vncviewer and specifies hotname:portname.here port name is important is VNC port(5900+) right?? where is the HTTP/JAVA port is comming into the picture? Even in listening mode of vncviewer(i.e. reverse connection) we can apecify anyport where vncviewer is waiting for the Xvnc to connect it. Regards, Paresh Chat on a cool, new interface.

VNCVIEWER is is used outgoing to connect to another system running a server used when the ports are setup so you can directly connect to the system you want to watch or control listening VNCVIEWER Accepts incoming connections used when a firewall or something else is blocking your connection; the system you will watch or control will call back to your listening viewer on port 5500 you need to ensure firewalls are setup to allow the ports ; typically listening viewer is when I can't adjust the remote system firewalls Steve PARESH MASANI wrote: Hi, I just want to clarify that VNC viewer is meant for the forward connection and Listening VNC Viewer is meant for the backword connection.

If I reconnect to the server within one or two minutes the problem is still there and I will get the top part of the screen and then the connection gets severed. If I wait a while I can one again connect and see the desktop. The longer I wait the better for if I don't wait long enough I might get the desktop but a little while later the problem resurfaces. I have one other problem related to that server which might be related to this problem and MIGHT have to do something with a buffer overflow on the NIC or something like that however... so far we have not been able to test that due to the fact that I would not know how.

VNC 4.1.2 free edition, as far as I know, doesn't work well in service mode. Seems like it's working better in user space (not a problem of session as you thought, but of space). I've just tried to do what you want and succeeded. Here's what to do: 1. Stop and unregistered service mode of VNC server. 2. Run VNC server in user mode but without administrator right. That means simple click on Run VNC Server inside VNC Server (User-Mode) is sufficient. 3. Now, you could do c:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\winvnc4.exe -connect your viewer PC HTH Dave Larson wrote: Thanks for the suggestion, but I have method that fits my needs that works on WinXP and I am trying to make it work on VISTA. Currently I have clients that are behind firewalls and I am not allowed to contact them directly. I have another service that checks with me and finds out that I want to make a connection. I put VNC on my end in listen mode and the service on the client does c:\program files\.\winvnc.exe -connect myIP to tell the WinVNC service on the client end to make the connection. This works under WinXP. On VISTA, with the session 0 isolation, when my service executes c:\program files\.\winvnc.exe -connect myIP I think that there is an error and the WinVNC service can not be found because it is in another session and can not be seen by my service. I think that on VISTA there is some way that I can communicate with the WinVNC service from a different session, because with WinVNC4 running as a service on VISTA the WinVNC SysTray tool can pass a message to the WinVNC service to tell it to initiate a connection.
