Compiled, repeater running, but fails to connect to server

Post by KyferEz »

Sorry for being brief in my explanations, but I'm having to type this again because the forums forced me to login again and in doing so lost my previous very detailed post I spent half an hour typing! GRRR!

I ran compiler with:
http://www.mywebsite.com
localhost
v:5901 s:5501
password

Ran repeater on my webserver using Rat's perl script using this command, and of course replaced the [YOUR NAME] with my server account name:
/home/[YOUR USER NAME]/public_html/cgi-bin/ultravnc_repeater.pl -L BG -r -C -c 5901 -s 5501

Ran this to make sure running: netstat -anp --tcp | grep perl
Got this as a result:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5901 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 25074/perl
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5501 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 25074/perl

Ran instantsupport on one pc and it seems to run fine. Don't know how to verify that though...

Run ChunkViewer on another pc and put in code and press connect and get "Failed to connect to server". In bottom left of chunkviwer it says "using localhost:5501" but am on different networks so should not be using localhost...

HELP!

NEVERMIND! It appears my host (hostgator.com) blocks all incoming traffic and will not enable incoming ports for shared accounts.

Not all hope is lost -- it appears you can specify a directory path in a repeater address, so even though you're on a shared host you may be able to get it to work.
