The URLs are all the same, its the port numbers which change. This is how it looks: http://mydomain.com:9999 mapped to sentinel:5900 http://mydomain.com:9998 mapped to morpheus:5900 http://mydomain.com:9997 mapped to trinity:5900 The ideas suggested are interesting but not as simple as a straight local aliases file which could be read by vncviewer before attempting the connection. I just want to enter "sentinel", "morpheus" or "trinity" and not bother with portnames at all. The other advantage is this is what appears in the title bar so I can tell where I am when I have several different sessions open too. >Wez >Could he also just add them to his host file? >Tom > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >Behalf Of James Weatherall >Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 6:46 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: Aliases for hostnames in viewer > >Eric, > >One way to achieve this is to save a .vnc connection-info file for each >host.
