Basically I have no fucking clue as to what the hell I am doing. I need to set up ultravnc or something similar to be able to log into my office computer. I just can't figure out what goes where, and what to install. All the shit on sourceforge is kind of confusing, and I am a goddam n00b when it comes to anything that's not point-and-click install.

I know I need to forward port 3389 on the office computer. I have hamachi set up on both boxes, and I swap files regularly between the two.

BUT I NEED MORE, DAMMIT!

Better hope omarbadu doesn't see this. You're sure to be called an idiot for asking a question here.

6/5/2006 10:24:39 PM

nah zxappeal is a smart guy - he is asking valid questions - plus sutton said he's a good guy so that helps

6/5/2006 10:25:33 PM

it's not 3389, that's for microsoft, not vnc.

it's ports 5800-5802 and 5900-5902

Thanks OmarBadu

Reminds me...I gotta go kick some sense into Josh. Maybe I will make a special trip down to G-Vegas.

CALLLAHAN!!!!

I'd recommend tight vnc.

http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html

Has pretty good instructions, but shoot me an IM/PM if something doesn't make sense.

Josh needs a beatdown? I'm in.

6/5/2006 11:18:51 PM

Did you get this shit working?

6/6/2006 11:23:56 AM

i run hamachi and ultr@vnc...simple setup, very effective

never used tightvnc

6/6/2006 1:18:00 PM

I can't connect to mine at home. I'm at the office right now. I'm able to browse using hamachi, but I can't connect with mine.

What I can't remember is if I have my computer at home set up to do remote access in WinXP. Does that matter?

6/6/2006 4:53:46 PM

it can cause conflicts, but only after connection is made.

6/6/2006 4:59:29 PM

I can't even connect period. I'll have to try the other way around when I get home.

I have both the VNC viewer running in listen mode and the WinVNC server running on both machines.

I type in my hamachi-assigned address for my home computer in when I go to set up a new connection. I get a "Failed to connect" error every time.

bttt...

6/6/2006 10:20:31 PM

bttt...yo?

6/8/2006 2:57:32 AM

Alright. When I'm at the office, I can log into my computer at home. When I'm at home, I can't log into my computer here.

I've forwarded all the ports like I think I need to do.

running firewall like zonealarm? remember that hamachi comes up as a whole new network adapter, and sometimes you have to enable it as "trusted" in order for your firewall to let it in

7/11/2006 6:11:45 PM

No firewall other than hardware (router) and Windows Firewall.

And I believe that Windows Firewall is configured for Hamachi.

check on it...that was the one problem i had with the whole setup - kept looking for it in programs, when it was showing up in network adapters...good luck with it
