John, I really appreciate your patience in answering my questions. I'm sure that it will become clearer as soon as I actually use the product. Do server sessions connect to other server sessions or is the VNC server the host for the sessions? Thank you..............Roy

You can configure VNC to require that the currently logged-in user accept the connection each time, if you're worried about security or something. As for your question, no -- the viewer is only for VIEWING the remote computer. What you want to do is start the SERVER... again, though, it would probalby be easier and better to have the server start automatically with Windows and then have the *SERVER* pop up a request to have the person logged into the remote PC locally authorize the connection.

So would I start up my session in User Mode then the other folks would attach to my session using User Mode also. For remote control, does the person who has the PC I want to control start the viewer session then I attach using the viewer session also? -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 10:39 AM To: Roy Shimizu Cc: RealVNC List (E-mail) Subject: RE: Changing default login settings Roy: Service mode is when the VNC server starts up automatically with Windows -- much the way that the network starts up automatically with Windows and stays running as long as Windows is running. User mode is when the user who's currently logged in starts the VNC server, but if they log off or the computer is rebooted, the VNC server stops running. Finally, the viewer is just that -- an application to view/control a remote desktop. Now, I referred to Windows when I mentioned "service mode" but VNC can be configured to behave as a "service" in other operating systems as well, and start up automatically. -----Original Message----- From: Roy Shimizu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 1:31 PM To: John Aldrich Subject: RE: Changing default login settings Hi John, I'm new to VNC so please bear with me. How do I start the master session and how do other users attach to my session? What's the difference between service mode, user mode and viewer? Thank you for all your help......Roy -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 10:29 AM To: Roy Shimizu; John Aldrich Subject: RE: Changing default login settings Technically, yes. However, it's best to have the system administrator (you need Admin priveleges, I believe, to change the settings) configure the VNC server to start automatically with Windows (thus the "Service Mode") that way you don't have to worry about changing the settings. -----Original Message----- From: Roy Shimizu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 1:22 PM To: John Aldrich Subject: RE: Changing default login settings So the person who is controlling the session would change the default setting in VNCserver 4 (service mode) and all the people who attach to the session will get the same default? -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 10:21 AM To: Roy Shimizu Cc: RealVNC List (E-mail) Subject: RE: Changing default login settings No. That is where the administrator changes the default settings for all users. In service mode everyone shares the same settings. It's only when you manually launch the server for each user that you have to worry about things like seperate, per-user settings. -----Original Message----- From: Roy Shimizu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 1:17 PM To: John Aldrich Subject: RE: Changing default login settings Hi John, Thank you for your quick response. Does each user have to change their setting? ......Roy -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 10:05 AM To: Roy Shimizu; [email protected] Subject: RE: Changing default login settings Yes. It's in the "Configure VNC Settings" under start ->Programs ->RealVNC ->VNCserver4 (service mode) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Roy Shimizu Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 12:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Changing default login settings Can VNC be set up so the default at login is shared? Currently if any participant forgets to check the box all sessions are disabled when they log off. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
