I fixed the problem by downloading the full install of VNC, not just the viewer, and only installed the viewer, custom install. This registered the .vnc file type properly with windows, so that when I double-clicked on .vnc files (or opened them via a browser) vncviewer was passed the -config option to open the file. That solved my problem. Merely associating .vnc files with vncviewer is not enough.
I am working on designing a web front end for connecting to multiple VNC servers, using .vnc config files and the native viewer, although it could be adapted to use the java viewer. My ambition is to build a web front end to a database for managing multiple vnc hosts. Perhaps I am duplicating something in the professional versions available, but it is a tool I need, and I have some time but little $$$. I am sure other people have done similar things, so perhaps people have ideas (or code) to share.

Februar 2005 15:29 An: 'James Weatherall'; Gearry Judkins; [email protected] Betreff: RE: unable to resolve host by name: (11001) Thanks, that was indeed the problem. I also discovered that this is much easier to set up if you run the combined installer (to register the file types, as is noted in the documentation), rather than just get the viewer and go through registering the type yourself. I did RTFM, but was not getting everything correct. I will blame it on Window's kludgy interface for configuring file type handlers (one interface for folder customizations, and another for global settings, and they almost look the same, at least on 2k). Yes, that makes me feel better.
