    UltraVNC question - almost there


    Background
    Been using UltraVNC for a long time. Currently on 1.0.9.6.1 (64bit) I have many home machines- two on Win7 64BIT ; the balalance on XP. All on the same home network I recently rebuilt Win 7 #2, so I suspect I have something not quite right there.

    Issue

    • From Win 7 # 1, I can control all the XP's, but I cant connect to Win 7 #2 (recently rebuilt)
    • From Win 7 # 2 (recently rebuilt), I can control all the XP's, but I cant connect to Win 7 #1
    Steps to Date
    • I verified all the basic network stuff
    • All PC's can see all other PC's.
    • I reintalled, UltraVNC on both Win 7 machines, and I see it the install makes all the required firewall exceptions.
    Questions
    What Win 7 settings should I be looking to change?

    Have you turned off all firewalls on Win7 #2?

    I could do that as a test , but that would not be my normal setup.

    I will check the firewall exceptions

    I will also check for exceptions in the anti vrius I am using ( Avast 6.0)

    BUT....I thought the UltraVNC install makes the appropriate execptions when it installs...

    It might be Windows firewall, but in any case you should triple-check that. I certainly had to adjust Comodo firewall to get UVNC to work.

    I have found that many new antivirus products that include a firewall tend to block network access on a peer-to-peer network, and Win7's built in firewall can as well. Since this network contains a router, and since most routers contain a hw based (superior) firewall, turn em off! My latest upgrade to Norton Internet Security 2012 did just that. I have a Win7 box that shares all my media with the network and tv's. Samsung allshare is a dream! NIS 2012 disabled all network access to any shares. Once I disabled the NIS firewall, I had access to the shares again!

    No antiivirus software is installed on Win 7 # 2 .
    I have turned Windows Firewall OFF for Win 7 # 2 .
    I have turned Windows Firewall OFF for Win 7 # 1 .
    Still no change per my orginal post.

    And yet I can access my XP machines no problem.
    Everything is going through the same router.
    And I can access all the disk drives off to/from any machine

    What can I try next??

    Do you have something shared on each PC with the group everyone? Or?

    Yes, for all my shares, I grant permissions to EVERYONE.

    Took a look at advanced setting sfor Windows Firewall.

    On WIN 7 # 2 I saw 4 entries ( for viewer-tcp, viewe-udp, server-tcp, server-udp), but only saw 2 settings (viewer only) on WIN 7 #1.

    So I renstalled UltraVNC on Win 7 # 1. Still two setttings.

    I manually added the other two, and rebooted.

    No change.

    Rather than creating exceptions for Windows firewall... just disable it totally and test!
