Does UltraVNC work on a XP Home machine

Post by RiaVanHeerden »

Hi

I have been reading up on this but I can't get a straight answer. All I want know is can I access a XP Home machine with UltraVNC from a XP Pro Machine.

And a bonus will be, if it is possible - What am I doing wrong!

Kind Regards
Ria

only "require ms logon" aka MS Logon I would work on XP Home
do not checkbox "New MS Logon" always fail over XP Home.

doc UltraVNC authentication...

To use MS Logon under Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium Edition, you also have to enable the NTLM security services by opening Control Panel, Network, Access Control, and then selecting User-level access control. Win 9.x require 2 dlls radmin32.dll and rlocal32.dll this can be found in the nexus.exe.

Under Windows XP, the ForceGuest registry value is set to 1 by default in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

On a Windows XP computer you must check:
If the Guest account is enabled, an SSPI logon will succeed as Guest for any user credentials.
If ForceGuest is disabled (set to 0), SSPI will log on as the specified user.
If the authtest util gives guest account blocked, an open guest account is detected and ms logon denies all access.

The ForceGuest=0 hack does not work.

Is there any word as to when or if this will be made XP Home compatible?

If an XP home machine to test on is needed, I have that.

For the record, the ForceGuest=0 hack does not work for File and Print sharing at all on XP Home. It is pretty much a useless setting.
