Repeater Mode I

Post by Patrick259 »

Hi!

I am trying to install the repeater to use with multiple connections. I would like my vncviewer to receive more than one connection. From my understanding it cannot be done with the repeater in mode II but seems to be possible with mode I.

Unfortunately I am unable to get it working in mode I
note: I know about the security warning and will look into it.

here is my setup

computer R: repeater on IP 192.168.1.40
computer A: vncviewer on IP 192.168.1.50
Computer B: vncviewer on IP 192.168.1.60

Computer X: outside connection using single click vnc to a no-ip address. The router points the port to the repeater computer
Computer Y: another outside connection using single click vnc

so, I would like to have computer A receive the connection of both computer X and Y at same time.

For the repeater I set it in mode I but tried different settings and not working.

I've set the shortcut for computer A as follow: vncviewer.exe" -proxy 192.168.1.40:5901 -connect hostname

it is the "hostname" which I am not able to get working nor understand what I need to write here.
I don't mind using the same port for all computers but how do I set the hostname?

though I could put -connect 192.168.1.50:5902 to identify computer with IP and a port 5902 but it is giving me a failed to connect.

as for the SC, how do I set the host?
[host]
Computer A
-connect no-ip::5901 -noregistry

any help?
thanks

mode I

viewer (connect) ----> repeater----> server 1/server2/server3 ( listening)
host: serverip:port
proxy repeater ip:port

when the viewer connect to the repeater, the repeater connect to the requested serverip:port

see
http://www.uvnc.com/docs/uvnc-repeater.html

This is not the same as
server ->repeater->viewer1/viewer2
This doesn't work.

Please explain, what do you want to do.
use 10.10.x.x for internal addresses
and 123.123.x.x for external (offivial ip addresses)

who connect to who, were does the veiwer/servers run

oh...I might have been looking into it the wrong way.

10.10.10.40 would be the repeater
10.10.10.50 would be a vncviewer
10.10.10.60 would be another vncviewer (we have 10 in total)
they are both behind a router with an IP set as a connectme.no-ip.biz to receive the connection

123.123.5.25 would be a computer using a SC to connect to our viewer
123.123.5.26 would be a second computer using a SC to connect to our viewer.
With direct setup (SC points to port 5050 for 10.10.10.50 and 5060 for 10.10.10.60) and no repeater I am able to receive multiple connections to the same viewer (123.123.5.25 and .5.26 are able to connect to 10.10.10.50 at same time) but I don't have enough port to open them all

I would like to have people from the outside (123.123.5.25 and .26) to connect to an agent at same time (like send both connection to 10.10.10.50)

mode II doesn't seem to work as it takes only 1 connection
does mode I work?

thanks
