G-Day,
I am currently unable to remote in. I had someone setup Ultra VNC server on some PC's that I remote into and all was working fine. I have read and understand the setup of the software but there is one part that I do not understand, how does it know where these PCs are? There was something they setup, not on any of the PCs I remote into, telling it where the PCs are and I have no idea who, what, when, where, etc. and the people that set it up are no longer available.
I see on the home page about the software now being self hosting, is this for Ultra VNC or another software? Help.
thx,
Carl

Hosting Question
Re: Hosting Question
i don't know my public ip address as is dynamic can change any time.
work around
use dynamic service provider like dyndns, no-ip, tzo.com, zoneedit.com, etc
that service is mostly supported on your router or sometime called internet gateway device
have a look at the settings of it if there set the address like an example:
tartempion.dyndns.org

Re: Hosting Question
It's worse than not-knowing his remote public IP address -- CRB doesn't have ANY idea how he was connecting before. It could have been via a repeater, it could have been through multiple VNC setups with specific ports...
CRB, unless you were using a repeater (a 3rd machine somewhere on the Internet) I would guess that you were accessing each of the machines directly via a public IP address (just as redge indicated) and, if all the remote machines are at the same location, through multiple ports.
You'd have to tell us the contents of the VNC desktop shortcut you used, and/or your ultravnc.ini file, and/or any .vnc files in your UltraVNC viewer directories, and/or the contents of ORL branches in your registry. (Unfortunately settings are kept in lots of places.)
A simple thing to do is start the Viewer, click the pull-down arrow, and tell us exactly what the recently used list of addresses show.
Perhaps the public IP address at your server location changed. To track that, you could use a Dynamic DNS service as redge described, but it WILL need to be installed at the remote server end, and I can tell you that your original setup was NOT done without some kind of change at the "PCs you remote into".
