Hi Lee,
Sorry to disappoint (hope you are not too crushed) you but you won't be
going into the registry this time unless you need to set this up using an
unattended batch process of some kind.
SETTING UP VNC
1) Start up the VNC host (or server if you prefer).
If this is the first time you are running the VNC host, skip to step 4 as
the dialog box usually comes up the first time you run it. Otherwise,
continue with step 2.
2) Right click on the white VNC taskbar icon
3) Select properties
4) Un-check "Auto" in the "Incoming Connections" section
5) Change the Display Number.
This value is an offset of the 5800 port number. You need to set this value
to a different number on each of your machines. Note that they need not be
numbered sequentially. For example, if you want the host to use 5801, you
would specify a value of 1, 5802 would be 2, etc.
6) Click OK when you are done.
SETTING UP YOUR ROUTER
You will have to add one entry on your router for each of the 6 machines
that you want to access using VNC. Unfortunately I am not familiar with
your router so you will have to work this out on your own. Suffice to say
that the process is pretty much the same as it was for ports 5800 and 5900
except that you have to repeat it for each of the machines. For example, if
you have a machine with a display value of 2, you will have to add an entry
on your router for 5802. I am not sure if you have to add an entry for 5902
as well. You will have to test this on your own.
CONNECTION THOUGH THE ROUTER
When you connect using the VNC client, you would specify the host followed
by a colon followed by the same number you set in step 5 above.
For example, if Jack's machine is set to display number 1, you could
connect to his machine by entering:
123.123.123.123:1
If you want to access Mary's machine, whose display number was set to 2,
you would need to connect to her machine by entering:
123.123.123.123:2
In each cases, 123.123.123.123 was used. This should of course be replaced
with the IP address of your router. Note that when connecting to the hosts
THROUGH THE ROUTER, everyone connects to the same IP address, however
everyone uses a different port number.
DIRECT LAN CONNECTION
When connecting to the host WITHOUT going though the router (for example,
from one machine on the LAN to another), users must connect use the IP
address of the individual machine they want to access, however they must
still specify the correct port number.
For example, if Jack's machine is set to display number 1, you could
connect to his machine by entering:
192.168.0.3:1
If you want to access Mary's machine, whose display number was set to 2,
you would need to connect to her machine by entering:
192.168.0.12:2
HOPE THIS HELPS
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
