"Failed to connect to server" help?

[joaxe]

UltraVNC forum members,

I am running version 1.0.5.6 and trying to connect to target machines. I get the "failed to connect to server" error only on some of the target machines. I can connect to the other machines fine. The targets are not running any firewall. What is interesting is that a telnet session to port 5900 on the target(s) will fail, but a telnet session to 5901 works. The working VNC machines will reply to a telnet session to port 5900.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Joe

if winvnc has auto port selected, it check if port 5900 is in use.
If port is in use it use port 5900+1

+Check if some other app is using this port
+Check if you don't have the port manual selected.

cmd
netstat -ab
should be able to show port usage
