Great Software! Thank you very much!

A couple of suggestion/feature to make you software PERFECT :-D :

- Reverse DNS lookup : is possible to have a reverse dns lookup in scanner? A list of ip address is useless, and i have to change the name manually, which is take so much time...

- Default configuration parameter : i use a dsm plugin to connect to my vnc client, and i have to add a connection parameter to each client, can it be set to default for every client (a scanner option or a group option is a possible solution)

hope 1.3.5 will include these feature :-D

thanks again for your software

hi,
just wanted to say thanks for this software, its helped me out no end!!!
I have a couple of comments i hope you dont mind :)

Sometimes when I left click on a computer, and try to connect, it still connects to the previously selected pc.

The plus button (as mentioned in a previous post) doesnt show up at all regardless of how many groups there are. Until the group is selected.

are you supposed to be able to double click to connect? It doesnt seem to work sometimes, and randomly does!!

Is it possible to use the multiviewer? So multiple virtual computers in one window?

thanks again and hope you dont mind me posting this :-)

You need to leftclick on it first, and then rightclick and choose from the context menu. Unfortunately that's the way the TreeView item works in AutoIt.

That's another "bug" in the TreeView item in AutoIt.
llol_slim wrote: are you supposed to be able to double click to connect? It doesnt seem to work sometimes, and randomly does!!
Double clicking doesn't work at all. You can connect to a PC by left clicking on it only if the Servers mode is selected.
llol_slim wrote: Is it possible to use the multiviewer? So multiple virtual computers in one window?
I run some tests in the begining using the tabbed viewer, but there were some issues that made me choose the original viewer.
My program calls the viewer giving it some command line switches and when I tested it with the tebbed viewer it opened another instance for every PC instead of another tab in the first instance. I wrote in its forum, but there was no reply for a long time, so I abandoned it.
But you are welcome to try it and send some feedback. Just set it instead of the original viewer.

This is already implemented by using the nbtstat.exe but for some reason it doesn't work on some PCs. Check to see if you have it in your system folder (for WinXP it is \Windows\System32)
I'm trying to do it without using the nbtstat.exe, but still no luck. :(

I'm working on your second suggestion. It's an excellent idea.
It will be included in v.1.3.5 ;)

nbtstat.exe is not the right command, nbtstat show netbios connection statistics. For reverse dnslookup use nslookup. it's a tool to query dns server.

Another thing: the scanner report some windows 2000 machine as false positive.
I see some pc without vnc, after the scan in the list of scanned items. :(
I've tried scanning only 5900 port but the result still remain the same.

The scanner checks if the port is open. It doesn't actually communicate with the server. So if the PC has this port open and listening it will be reported as positive.

About the name lookup, at first I needed only the local names resolved, because I use the program in my LAN. And you need to have a confugured server to get the names from IPs using nslookup

brilliant
i think now its working with fastpush, its a godsend for techies like me
what would be good to make it more user freindly for new comers would be to have the fastpush cmds as radio buttons such as

/pwd
/uninstall
etc
a password box would be needed for the password, i was showing someone the program and they could see my password on the screen :o
this is fast becoming one of the best free programs i have used
thanks again dv8

ps you might want to mention in your docs that fastpush needs no setup if we use the above methods, ie using /pwd password etc

This Control has come at the right time.
I like the changes you have made over the last week, (dns rev etc).

BUT there is one thing I would love to see here:

MS auth II

The main reason I ask this is I'm setting up a two level access,
1 for us the admins and 1 for the the teachers (in a school btw).

I only want the teachers view only via javascript http access.

But I dont want to type my user name and password in everytime I view a computer!

Would this be a hard thing to do?


Jon.
Hope that makes sence, lol

With version 1.4, when i try to scan the network, it give me this error:

Code: Select all

Line 0 (File "C:\documents and settings\user\desktop\download\vnccontrol\vnccontrol.exe"):
$MAC=$NameMAC[2]
$MAC=^Error
Error: array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.
What's this? anyone has this problem?

same problem here with version 1.4.

A scan of my network gives this error at first occurence of a VNC server.

By the way, this piece of software is a nice sample of what can be done with AutoIt3.

Nice Job !

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you need.
As far as I can see, you need to configure your UltraVNC servers to support MS auth II and if you want the teachers to use my program, set it up, but leave the user name and password fields empty. This way the authentification should be made using their users data. Or at least I think so...
:roll:

I've just re-read you reply dv8.

What I'm saying is as follows:

When ms auth is on rather than getting just a password request on the viewer side you get a username and password.

Now I dont want to put this in every time I connect to a PC.

The teacher will not be using this program, they will be using the java viewer built in to UltraVNC, via a web link on the intranet.

This is why I require the 2 leveled access.

Another one for you, when you connect to a computer it doesnt start off in view mode.
I ask about this because I dont want the kids knowing I'm watching them. :)

Another feature request:

it would be great if i can drag and drop a pc from a group to another, instead of insert pc manually in the new group and delete it from old group.

I love this program and i want it to be perfect! :-D

EDIT: Found another bug. Creating a group without adding a pc cause the group not to be saved.

Dragging and dropping in a tree is quite difficult to do in AutoIt, so I don't think this will be done soon (if at all). :( I'm sorry.
I can tell you another (easier) way to move a PC.
1. Select the PC and call Edit from the context menu.
2. After the PC Settings dialog appears, with the PC data filled in, click on the group you want it in. Notice that all the data stays, only the "In group:" field changes.
3. Press the Add / Edit button and the computer will appear in the new group.
4. Delete the computer from the old group.
5. Save the changes.
This procedure is quite fast. :)

About the empty group - it's not a bug. Since it's empty I decided not to save it. And the data structure in the PC.INI file doesn't allow to save group entries. It saves the PC entries and extracts the group data from them.
When I first thought about the design of the program, I couldn't thought of a reason to keep an empty group in the tree (and I still can't ;)). And in the previous versions of the program the way to delete a group was to delete all the PCs in it and after restarting the program it was gone for good. :)
So no empty groups are saved. :)

I'm sorry, but I've never used FastPush and I can't help you there.
But from the image you've attached, it seams that you don't have "SHARE ACCESS".
Check this thread: [topic=6667][/topic] and the links there.
Thank you.
Good luck.
