how to make Windows shortcut to listening viewer RE: Vol 1 #1879 msg#10

[Mark Reeder]

   e.g. drag winvnc4.exe shortcut from windows explorer to desktop
   (or place in favourites/quicklaunch/Start menu in XP non-classic)

   then  into  the  target  field  of  that shortcut's properties put for
   example

   "E:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\winvnc4.exe" -connect 129.200.9.33:0
   where  :0  indicatess  the  port  on  the  remote  windows  viewer  on
   129.200.9.33 is accepting on port 5800.

   regards, Mark

     what I do for remote support as you trying to provide is to start a
     vncviewer
     on my machine in "Listen Mode".  then tell them to:
     1-  Right mouse click the little Vnc icon on bottom right corner of
     the screen
     2- select add connection.
     3- enter my dns address, (or ip-address)
     That  way they connect to me, and don't have firewall/port blocking
     problems.
     Additionally,  I  add  an  Icon  on  their  screen named "Screen to
     Jerry", which
     does the connection for them...
