If you are using the viewer then port 5900 is the default port. YOu
shoudl only need the ip address of the machine in the viewer.

Ultra VNC in Windows XP SP2

Hi,

I just got UltraVNC for Windows XP , and ran the VNC Server.
And I tried connecting to my computer using VNC Viewer from another
computer running XP, I tried putting in "myip:5800" and
"hostname:5800", but both resulted in a "cannot connect" message. I
tried it on several other computers with XP and it's the same problem.
I even tried connecting it using my browser by typing in " http://ipaddress:5800 " but that didnt work either.

I disabled my firewall. (Strangely, my windows XP firewall option is
"greyed-out" and I can't enable it).

Note: I already have
qualified ports 5800 and 5900 in the Firewall

What am I doing
wrong? By the way, if I can't just put in the numerical ip address , how do I find my exact
host name to put into the VNC viewer?

Thanks,

--
