Old plugins are not multi threaded.
msrc4plugin use a trick to multiply himself, by changing his name for the second instance.
Old/New plugins are detected by name -> this will not work.

Multiple connections -> use securevncplugin

securevncplugin
- multithreaded
- >8 char passwd
- selectedable encryption

Possible we drop complete the msrc4plugin support in the next version.
The 2 different engines are just a hell to maintain, and almost all bugs are related to this.

Rudi,

Please take a look on B's post [BUG] Some Serious Bugs

Looks like some are still existing in 10961 (at least I think No.2 & No.8 are not fixed yet)

2 new fixes.

javaviewer
While waiting for the new Javaviewer i did a little trick.... add 2 javaviewers :idea:
One with and one without mslogon, if the server use mslogon browser download javaviewer(mslogon)
Live swicthing between mslogon and vncpasswd is not supported, files are loaded on vnc startup.

Signed java using an official certificat ( same cert as for winvnc.exe seems to work for java)

lock keyboard/mouse
viewer icon now proper indicate if keyboard is locked this is not to screen blanking state....
If not running as service, system security settings often give permission denied when you try to lock the keyboard,
now the icon displayed on the viewer use this permission info to show lock icon or not.
Permission to lock keyboard and blank screen seems to be independed...icon only indocate keyboard locking.

Blank monitor
works but is limited in usage.
win7 with aero, only monitor power functions can be used (limited, permission)
win7 without aero support the background image ( prefered method)
The lock icon give the keyboard state, not the blank monitor state. If you use the "non aero" alpha blending method, you
also can check if the top cover window is running.

file updated

To test:
JavaViewer with and without mslogon / filetransfer

lock keymouse/blank screen

[v]Enable Blank monitor on viewer request
[ ] Disable, Only Inputs on...
( monitor +keyb lock)
[v]Enable Blank monitor on viewer request
[ v] Disable, Only Inputs on...
(keyboard lock)

You mean, same port for java download and rfb.
This require a special server build, it has nothing todo with the java viewer.
Only it isn't very stable

Special build added to download

The webviewer use the rfbport (default 5900)
If you set it to 80, you only need port 80 to to use the viewer.

You use the same port for java download an rfb.
On connection, winvnc need to detect if it's a webbrowser requesting for data or a vncviewer that only want rfb data.

When i'm correct the problem was.
The detection has trouble with non webbrowser or rfb packets that arrive on port 80, sometimes you need to connect
multiple times before the connection engine get back in sync.

We also use a new encryption engine, don't know if a special version with single http port
still can be used for normal connection and encryption.

No time to test it proper--> unstable.

For those Error/Warning message box that I have reported, they are now visible and properly displayed.
Add the DS_CENTER property to the About and Connection Options dialogs and let Windows take care of centering of this dialogs in the active display.

Thank you all.

Since the new website I can't download the 1.0.9.6.1 files anymore.
I can open the folders and see the files, e.g. winvnc.zip but once I click on one of the files I get back to the main page.

However, it works if I copy the URL and then enter it into the address bar of the browser directly.

This version looks pretty good. When do you think it will get released? Probably the most stable build yet.

Did the 10961 get released? Got a minor issue with 1096 where if the network DHCP host gets reset while connected to another machine server, the Win7 32 client blue screens.

Did you use the same Filetransfer settings
impersonate []

ON= run as desktop user, only access to folders that the desktop user can access, access to mapped folders.
OFF= run as system, access to all local files, no access to mapped folders.

This version has been testdrived for several months, if there was a general problem with the FT
it would have been noticed at least be one beta tester.

hello everyone! :)

I've noticed that the latest winvnc.exe 1.0.9.6.1 doesn't allow me anymore to have 8greycolors mode, wich is really needed for performance issues. it always shows a mode that seems to be the 256 colors.

partial command line of viewer, that worked on latest 2010 version, was:
vncviewer.exe ... -noauto -8greycolors -encoding tight -compresslevel 9 -quality 0 -disablesponsor -shared

Hey guys,

I installed the latest 10961 on June 24th. I don't know why, but I keep getting remote connection errors in the notification bar. I'm not quite sure what is causing these errors...

The ip addresses given seem to be random; The last one I checked ended up as a San Fransisco address (I live in NYC).

jellysandwich, I've seen people mention this issue before. The big question is whether these connections are inbound or outbound.

If they're inbound, then the natural interpretation is that your router is forwarding the port properly, and that random drive-by scanning malware is probing your open VNC connection (and, luckily for you, failing to authenticate). Simple solution: pick an obscure non-standard listening port other than the default 5900. Also make sure you have a solid password.

If they're outbound connections, then your PC is trying to initiate connections, and we'd have to question (a) whether you got a clean copy of UVNC, and from where, and (b) if your machine is infected with some kind of trojan. No simple solution!

Hey all!

NoFastidies--I was having the same problem. 256 colors is the only option I see with 10961.

Thanks!
