VNC Server on MS Proxy

[Ryan Hayle]

I don't know if this will help or not, but you can use the Winsock Proxy
client to do this without packet filtering I think.  Just create a
WSPCFG.INI file in the directory you run WinVNC.exe from, and add the
following lines:

[WinVNC]
ServerBindTcpPorts=5925,5825
Persistent=1
KillOldSession=1

Now, granted this is assuming VNC is using TCP and not UDP, something I have
no clue about, so this may not work at all. (Hehe, you could always try
ServerBindUdpPorts??) You may have to restart the computer to get this
working.  I hope it helps.

Yes 5925 not port 25 or not -25. 

I am somewhat confused by all the options in MS Proxy. I have read that I 
must open port 59xx (5925 in my case) for vnc and 58xx (5825 in my case) for

the HTTP for the Java VNC stuff. 

SBS Server with 2 NICs VNC server running on the SBS Server. One NIC is 
for the Private Network (w/ private IP scheme) and one NIC is for the 
Internet (w/ a static IP) and connected to a ADSL Router (bridged to ISP). 
I 
understand the security risks involved and still need to move forward. 

MS Proxy gives me the following options under the Packet Filtering then 
"Add" new exception Dialog Box: 

Protocol Type - TCP / UDP / ICMP 
Direction - In / Out / Both 

Local Port 
  - Any 
  - Fixed Port (Give Port) 
  - Dynamic Port 

Remote Port 
  - Any 
  - Fixed Port (Give Port) 

Local Host 
  - Default proxy external IP address 
  - Specific Proxy IP address (Give IP Address) 
  - Internal Computer (Give IP Address) 

Remote Host 
  - Single Host (Give IP Address) 
  - Any Host 

I set up 2 filters as: 

*** Filter 1 *** 
Protocol - TCP 
Direction - In 

Local Port 
  - Fixed Port (5925) 

Remote Port 
  - Any 

Local Host 
  - Default proxy external IP address 

Remote Host 
  - Any Host 

*** Filter 2 *** 
Same as filter 1 except... 

Local Port 
  - Fixed Port (5925) 

Please advise whether I seem to have a grasp of this or whether I'm lost and

missing the boat. 

Thanks.
