Ron, At the present time, only VNC Enterprise Edition supports remoting of individual displays in multi-monitor systems, via addition of a REG_SZ DisplayDevice registry entry, set to the device name to remote e.g. \\.\DISPLAY1. Regards, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. -Original Message- From:

Huey, The most likely cause of this problem is that you have misconfigured the PPP connection at the first XP machine to be tagged as an Internet connection, so that the first XP machine tries to use it for all Internet traffic (including the VNC traffic back to the 2K machine) and so sends it to

Angelo, That's upside-down thinking, in that if UPnP is present then the security risk is there - not using it to make it easier to use a particular program simply means that user's gain no benefit from it, even though they still have the extra risk! Cheers, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. -Original

Heyaz. I released version 0.99d of Kaboodle today. As some might recall...when you use Kaboodle to connect two networks together using KaboodleProxy, you can VNC and file-transfer across a firewall/router without either side having to do any port-forwarding adjustments. No really. :)

RE: Allow Host name instead op ip in acces list

2004-11-08 Thread James Weatherall
Lennard, Filtering based on host name is tricky, because the efficient way to do it involves a reverse-DNS lookup on the IP address of the incoming connection. With dynamic DNS services, though, this won't actually resolve to the correct name, so it won't work. The other key point to remember is

Chris, Your problem is that you are using http://computer-ip:5900 Which causes your browser to try to do HTTP to the VNC port of your server. You need instead to use http://computer-ip:5800 Which will point your browser at the HTTP port of the VNC Server. Regards, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.

Hi Scott, Understood. The system you describe will work provided that the required ports are enabled for outgoing access through the firewalls at both ends, and that someone somewhere is running the echoWare server, which I assume you provide yourself? Cheers, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.

Scott, Fair enough. The only comment I'd make is that the claim that you can exchange files using Kaboodle without modifying any firewall settings is not correct - you need the echoServer machine's firewall to be properly configured to let connections in, and you need to be sure that both ends

Wez: A fair point: I should more accurately say that with the echoServer approach, *most* end users will not have to make any firewall adjustments. The person running the echoServer may have to, although they are not necessarily an end user of the client software which uses their server.
