Adam:
Yes, you got it. To set it up:
1. Install the UltraVNC server on the PC you want to take remote
control over. Give it a good VNC password. When it's running
in the service tray, right-click on it and choose "EchoServer
Properties". Use that to log into an echoServer, either one
you control, or our free demo one (the default). The "login
name" it uses can be anything you want: by default, it will
choose the Windows PC name.
2. Install the UltraVNC Viewer on the PC you want to do your
remote-controlling from. Sign into the same echoServer in
the "Options..." screen. Then on the main screen, just
type in the echoServer "login name" from #1, select the
"Connect via EchoServer" radio-button, and click connect.
That will connect the Viewer to the Server via a
"firewall friendly" tunnel, that's 128-bit AES secured end to
end.
Hope that helps!
