RE: winvnc4 commandline sequence/syntax
Dave, Specifying parameters on the command-line when starting winvnc4.exe doesn't cause them to be written to the registry, it just causes that copy of winvnc4.exe to use them instead of the corresponding value from the configuration in the registry. vncconfig.exe uses the same mechanism, so if you specify different command-lines to the two programs (or even to two separate copies of vncconfig.exe) you'll get different results.

What makes you think it's not working for you? -- Wez @ RealVNC Ltd Here's the sequence; the values are arbitrary. HKLM shows the value to be 5980 HKU shows the value to be 5970 (not that it should matter) winvnc4 -register PortNumber=5977 winvnc4 -start vncconfig -service (or rt-click : Options...) Shows the value to still be 5980, not 5977. I expected it to have changed. I've assumed that the result of setting the parm via commandline when registering should result in that parm being set to the new value when looking at the config after a -start. A check of the registry shows the setting was not changed either. I'd assumed it should, or at least the config setting of the running service would have changed, so I described what I see as either a failure or that I've done something incorrectly. In other words, winvnc4 -register PortNumber=5977 and winvnc4 -register appear to product the same result -- the original value in the registry is used either way. Should I not have expected to see the setting changed after the -start ?

winvnc4 commandline sequence/syntax
Ok. So I should think of command-line parms like temporary settings that over-write what winvnc4 reads from the registry and vncconfig can only read from (and write only via manual GUI changes to) the registry. This leaves a final question. When winvnc4 is started, the tray icon (created by starting winvnc4) provides the Options... menu list which appears to start the vncconfig utility. Since I do not see the command-line parm changes listed in the Options... copy of vncconfig, I'm now assuming the Options... access is equivalent to doing a command-line vncconfig -- which only reads the registry as you described. Since the HKLM registry lists the service-mode parms (which are not affected by the command-line) and vncconfig does not display the command-line parm values, are the service-mode command-line parms non-viewable settings? I could understand command-line parms to be single-instance values that take precidence over registry based values, but I'd not expected command-line based configuration values to be non-viewable in the config utility -- maybe not sticky (no change to the registry config values) but still viewable as validation that the command-line changes were accepted and active. Thanks for your clarifications.

Re: vnc home to work.
In order to assist in trouble shooting the issue, please provide step by step details of the processes you mentioned. 1. Steps to turn on firewall. Also is this in the router or on the operating system, which operating system. 2. Which version of VNC - Free version? 3. Detail step by step enabling NAT and pointing to lap top. 4. Detail step by step enabling ip passthrough and pointing to lap top. 5. Are you on an internet connection with DHCP or fixed IP. How is the operating system configured? - DHCP or fixed IP?
