RE: Newbie vncRepeater question.

For feature requests and bug reports RC15 RC16. Please use the forum at http://forum.ultravnc.net/


Just an FYI - 

I managed to get the vncRepeater working using
Ultravnc version 19.5. I didn't have
the options.vnc file correctly configured and I needed
to launch the client side by double-clicking on this options.vnc.

I don't know if the is the right forum for this question.
If not just ignore me :-)

I'm trying to get Ultravnc to work through the vncRepeater.
I just can't seem to make it go.
I'm following the instructions on from
http://forum.ultravnc.net/viewtopic.php?t=34

I wish to make it work just between two XP (SP2) configured PCs with
one PC running the repeater. 

I've downloaded the binary images build UltraVNC 1.0.0 RC18
and installed it on both PCs


What I'm doing is:
On PC1 -
Started "Run Ultra@VNC Repeater"
I get:
UltraVnc> socket() initialized
UltraVnc> bind() succeded to port 5900
UltraVnc> listen() succeded
UltraVnc> Waiting for connection ...

Then I start on the Same PC the ULTRA-VNC viewer:
I enter -
VNC Server ID:555
Proxy/Repeater  mylocalipaddress:5900

I then get the following response data in the
Repeater window:
UltraVnc> socket() initialized
UltraVnc> bind() succeded to port 5900
UltraVnc> listen() succeded
UltraVnc> Waiting for connection ...
UltraVnc> accept() connection
UltraVnc> Server ID port 555
UltraVnc> resolving host by name: ID
UltraVnc> failed to resolve locally.
ERROR: can't resolve hostname: ID
UltraVnc> Unable to connect to destination host, errno=11001
UltraVnc> Waiting for connection ...

Already I'm suspicious.

Then I go the my other PC and start the UTLRA-Server process.
I add a new client.
Hostname: myotherpc.com:5500
ID Code: ID:555
Enter OK and receive the message "Failed to connect to Listening VNC Server"
No more entries showed up in the repeater window.

I know I'm missing a basic concept but
I can't seem to chase down what that is.

Thanks
Jay
