Hi All,
I may be missing something here but I cannot get the AuthHosts =
key to screen out IP addresses. I'm using NT4 Server with SP5 & =
Hotfixes. In the Registry I have done the following;
Under=20
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default
there is the AuthHosts string which is set at
-:+xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:+yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy:
(where x and y are my IP addresses)
As far as I can tell from the docs this should only give access to =
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy and nothing else. However it appears =
to do nothing. My best guess is that the key is in the wrong place, =
wrong type, wrong setting (covers most eventualities!). If anyone can =
shed some light on my ignorance, I'd be most grateful.
Cheers,
