I am the network administrator of class room network with a 27 Win98SE machines all networked to a 10/100mpbs Ethernet network. Each machine is configured to log onto a win2000 server machine for authentication and dhcp settings. Each machine also has its computer name under the identification tab of the network control panel applet set to a different name i.e CIS1,CIS2,CIS3 .... CIS24,CIS25 e.t.c and to start the WINVNC server in the system tray as soon as the person logs on. I use VNC on each machine in order to monitor what the students are doing in the class room and to help them out of situations where they not know what to do and to make it easier for me to do defrags, remove temp files e.t.c from my desktop workstation. Each machine's "display number in WINVNC is set to the digit in the computer name ex: the CIS 24 machines would have its display number set to 24. I know that "display number corresponds to the port number that WINVNC is listening on + 5900 for the WIN Server and + 5800 for the Java server ex: Machine CIS24 with display number 24 would have its WINVNC listening on ports 5924 and 5824
The problem is this. When I log onto a machine with my username and password WinVNC picks up the port number of the last machine I used. But when the students log on it picks up the correct port number. So if I loged onto machine CIS15 at the keyboard of that machine with my admin username and password then shut it down. Then go to machine CIS22 The WINVNC server on CIS22 gets display number 15. So I cannot connect to it correctly from my desktop workstation. BUT if student logs onto CIS22 with HIS username and password then WINVNC listens on the correct port of 5922???? Sorry if I typed too much in this post I wanted to make the problem as clear as I could. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
