Tony, It's always been possible to specify (almost) arbitrary ports, even with the <host>:<port> syntax. The <port> only has 5900 added to it if it is in the range 0-99 - it's assumed in that case to be a display number rather than a port. <host>::<port> overrides that optimisation and forces <port> to be treated as a port regardless of its value.
STRCM is a VNC deployment tool, not a replacement for VNC, so you should simply be able to use it to install VNC on your systems. Why would a suggested replacement deployment tool need to be free? STRCM isn't... Finally, remember that the viewer doesn't need to be installed on systems. It can simply be downloaded and run as a stand-alone executable, or the Java viewer built in to VNC Server can be used.

Ok, so I hadn't noticed that the ability to specify arbitrary ports had been added.. I know in the old days it was just an offset. Sorry about that all.. Now, my problem comes in that I want to use STRCM to manage the install/uninstall and it still only supports port offsets. This is to be used by HD people for remote support, thus the reason I wanted to use the 'easy installer' that STRCM presents Unless someone else knows of something as easy to use.. (and free). And no i cant go out and pre-install the client on all our machines due to objections from our security manager. -- that would be far to easy.. :( _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
