VNC server and AuthHosts in Windows

[Robert Jones]

I'm trying to configure WinVNC to block all IP address except a few.  I have
successfully done this on my NT server, but the Windows 95 machine still
lets any IP address connect.  Am I missing something for Windows 95 that is
different than NT?

I exported this straight from the registry of the Windows 95 machine

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3]
"AuthHosts"="-:+192.168.1.82:+192.168.1.58:"


and this is from the NT machine

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3]
"AuthHosts"="-:+192.168.1.82:+192.168.1.58:"

I have stopped and restarted (using winvnc -remove -install) the Windows 95
server each time I changed the registry, yet I can still connect no matter
what IP address I come from.  The Windows NT machine rejects the IP address
that are not the two specified, so I'm at a loss to explain the
inconsistency between the two systems.  Is there some peculiarity to Windows
95 not  in the documentation?
