Re: Dial-up stumble

[James Enterline]

Many thanks to Michael Roland and David Lambert  for their 
comments.  Indeed, both the name of the target computer, which is running 
WinVNC,  and its Dial Up Connection in my client computer are 
"ECRadio."  But I'm too much of a novice to know how to make it DNS 
resolvable.  ECRadio server is NOT on my local 10/100 network or the 
Internet, but is only accessible by direct dial-up.  Do I have to first 
dial up the two computers manually, and only then invoke VNC Viewer, or can 
I get VNC Viewer (and Windows) to do the dialing and connecting automatically?

Thanks again,   Jim.

I have a Dial-up Netrworking entry [..] named "ECRadio" with all [..]

But when I start up WINVNC Viewer, and it asks for the server to
connect to, I run into trouble.  I type in "ECRadio" correctly, and
                                             ^^^^^^^
So your server is (DNS resolvably) named 'ECRadio'?!
it immediately comes back saying, "Failed to get server address.  Did you 
type the host name correctly?"  I know I typed it correctly,
but it won't even try dialing.
I'm not quite sure I understand what you are doing. You have a dial-up
connection which is called 'ECRadio' and this duc connects you to a
server running WinVNC!? Now you use the name of the duc as the name
for the vnc server?

You'll either need to type in that computer's IP address or the actual
name of the computer, if it's on your network.
