I installed UltraVNC and Echoserver from the links above.

First i tried to use the port I used before to connect using my LAN-pcs but via the router (i.e. connecting using the external IPaddress). Didn't work

Then I added another rule in Firewall (Zyxel 2602H modem) allowing to fireware VNC(TCP:5900) to be forwarded to a certain PC and also added 5900 in the NATtable

Now I started ES, started the server and tried to check using port 5900, but http://www.canyouseeme.org/?submit=Check&port=5900 says no connection can be obtained

what do I need to do to get it working?

Jack:

Heya. Sorry that you got a little confused: once you're connected to the echoServer from both sides of the connection (ie, from both the Viewer and the Server), you won't need to adjust the firewall settings at all. That's the point.

Before you setup your own echoServer, I suggest connecting the Viewer and the Server to our "demo echoServer" at "demo.echovnc.com" with the password "demo2007". Then you can see it working.

Once it's working, you can (if you want) setup your own echoServer. By default, it listens to TCP 1328, so if you install it "behind" a firewall or router, you'll have to handle the port-forwarding setup for that. Or, you can skip installing your own, and just use the demo one.

hope that helps,
Scott

Hello,Scott:
I'm interested in this software, I find it is very useful.But I want to change the source code for my personal use.
I want to run it without config the echoserver Address. I want to run it with a existing EchoServer. For Example,a server name is "192.168.0.83",the port is "1328",the username is "test",the password is "test".
I want to use this Echoserver without configing,but only click the Winvnc.exe file.I edit the source file "EchoServerParamDlg.cpp,ConnectionData.cpp" change some param ,but I fail to achieve my goal. How can I do that? Can you help me?
Another question is how can I forbid the echoWinvnc.log file generating.I edit the file "PreDefine.h" at the "define DEFAULT_LOG_FLAG 0" .But it seems unhelpful. How can I do that?
I'm a Chinese Student, I really like Ultravnc. I like your work with echoware adding.
My Email is : herui123@sina.com, you can send to my mailbox.
Happy new year!

Heyaz. The 2.10 release of EchoVNC is now available, as mentioned in the related UVNC forum here.

cheers,
Scott

I'm just testing out this stuff.
I didn't get the demoserver address working so good yesterday.
only one time it said connected.

however I have now put up my own test server.
and now it connects fine.

I'm alittle confused on how this works.
you set up a group. the group has a password.
and clients, and the helpdesk support force use the same password?
can't a client just use the same password, and act as a support guy then?

Thor:

Heya. Yes, you have the idea: you create a connection Group,
and give that Group a password. Anyone who knows the password
can join that connection Group, and anyone in the Group can
establish connections to each other.

Once the connection is established, of course, there's a VNC
password prompt, just like normal. So the whole echoServer
thing just helps with making the connection; it's all normal
VNC after that.

cheers,
Scott

[thor918]

ahh I see.
so to make this a little more secure, one could make one group private, and then add the support guys as "see all users"?
then all the clients can have the same package with the same password, but can't connect to each other and can not act as the support guy..
then the support guy can see all clients, and connect to them, and help out...

Thor:

Aye, that's it exactly.

Have the performence issues been solved out?
I'm running the echo server on a virtual server, and it's horrible slow vnc connection trough. the lag is just too big...

[sbest]

When you ping the server, what's the response time? The demo server to me is less than 30mS. No performance issues, if less than 50.

-Scott

[thor918]

well as I said it's a virtual machine. so it could be that.
I tested the pchelpware repeater on the same virtual machine, and that connection is running at a acceptable speed.

I have only tested the echoware-repeater in a LAN envirment, so the ms is 1 or less

I will do some more tests.

Edit:
Okey, running it on vmware server did speed it up a little, but still the screen refreshing is way to slow. but this is perhaps something to do with vnc? (it runned slower on microsoft virtual pc)

clean your cache of your web browser or try to download with a software ftp client.
i can download, so is a problem of your connection or software.
