Hi Jennifer, HJ> We are running a WinNT network and are getting ready to deploy VNC. HJ> We want to try to lock down VNC so no one outside of our campus can HJ> access our computers. Is there a registry command that will allow HJ> us to do this? Yes, in the registry you can use AuthHosts under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3: take a look at the online doc to understand how it works. Basically, you can tell VNC which hosts are able to take remote control of a box.... You may use also a STRONG password: length is only 8 chars so use a lot of "strange" characters like @$*="\.... Also, block ports 5800-6000 at your firewall. Last, you can also take a look at Zebedee to create a secure tunnel between the two ends ( the remote box and your VNC Viewer box ), use private shared keys and activate two VNC keys in the registry: AllowLoopBack and LoopBackOnly. From memory, it may be located under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3 This way, VNC will refuse to accept connections from another IP then 127.0.0.1 so you'll have to establish a secure tunnel between the two machines before launching VNC Viewer through this tube...
