Re: trying to target multiple host? can it be done?

Sometimes getting another set of eyeballs looking at the problem is all
it takes to discover the problem.  Please forgive me if I'm stating the
obvious stuff that you already know, but here's what I notice.

I'm assuming from tunnel 5900:192.168.1.65:5898 that your Zebedee client
is trying to connect to 192.168.1.65 on port 5898.  This disagrees with
a commented line in the server config, "#redirect
5900-5901:192.168.1.69:5898 #UltraVNC to Stephanies", that implies
192.168.1.69 port 5898 is where you want to connect to.  What is the
real IP of the destination?

>From the server error "ERROR: client requested redirection to a
disallowed target (192.168.1.60:5898/tcp)" it appears that your new
client is trying to talk to VNC on 192.168.1.60 using port 5898.  I'm
not sure why that is happening.  I did notice that you've commented out
the redirect configuration on the server.  That should redirect any
port, but you never know...  Maybe try adding redirect lines.

For the server config try:

# Only redirect these ports
redirect 3050                   # Firebird
redirect 5898-5901              # VNC
# Allowable destinations for these ports
target 192.168.1.60:3050/tcp    # Old Firebird client
target 192.168.1.60:5900/tcp    # Old VNC client
target 192.168.1.60:5901/tcp    # Old VNC client (port #2)
target 192.168.1.69:5898/tcp    # New VNC client
# The following line ensures that the default target host
# is the local machine. The last named host becomes the
# default so leaving this here ensures that "localhost" is,
# the default unless overridden on the command line.
target localhost

A long time ago (2006-03-15) I posted about a similar situation.  That
may also be of some help to you.  Try

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?
forum_name=zebedee-talk&max_rows=25&style=nested
&viewmonth=200603&viewday=15

I've had to split the address up into three lines.  Just cut and paste
them together.

Please keep us posted on how you resolve this issue.

Thanks,
