AllowLoopback By default, WinVNC servers disallow any vncviewer connections from the same machine. For testing purposes, or, potentially, when using multiple instances of WinVNC on Windows Terminal Server, this behavior is undesirable. Setting this registry entry to 1 will cause local-loopback connections to be allowed. Setting it to zero will filter out such connections. Local machine-specific setting.
Setting that in the registry will allow the loopback. I think that the result will be something other than what you expect to happen if you are running a Windows box. It will be an interesting display before the system locks up, though. ;) - Steve Bostedor http://www.vncscan.com -----Original Message----- From: rwilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 12:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: getting started this may sound idiotoc to all you happy users but can i test the VNC system by having the server and viewer be the one and same PC? i type in the IP configuration of the server into the viewer connection details box but this is disallowed. thanks robert _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
