connecting via commandline in 1.2.1.7

Post by Ing »

Hello!

I'm using UltraVNC a long time on many machines by using the commandline option "-connect".

This seems not working in Version 1.2.1.7 (on client side) - there's no connect and no error message.
However, when I use "add new client" from the taskbar icon it works. Also Version 1.2.1.6 works well.

This had happened now on 3 different computers (Win 10 Fall creator (1709) - 64Bit ).

tested viewer 1.2.2.0

Are you using plugins ?
Try without firewall, it could be blocking the viewer..

Thanks for the reply.

The problem takes place when using the vnc listening viewer - when the client wants to connect via

winvnc -connect <host>

I've tested it on differnet PC's with different firewalls and Antivirus Software (and disabling them). Even on a completely fresh installed system.

Inject in running winvnc
winvnc -connect <host> -run
