They are behind a firewall, which has been modified as needed. It was installed from an administrator account. However it only works when the user that installed it is logged in. John W.

It should set up as a service that runs at boot up (mine does). Is this computer behind a firewall? You may need to open up some ports. There is some good info here: http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/faq.htm BTW, you are using the UltraVNC version of VNC, aren't you? If not, the setup file and video drivers are available from that site as well. Does the client's IP change frequently? My personal SBC account changes every five minutes or so, so I had to use a little program called DeeEnEs dynamic DNS updater to ping/update my ip. This program is available for free as well at : http://www.palacio-cristal.com/products/DeeEnEs . I also had to set up a DNS address at http://www.dyndns.org/ so I can type my url from work and it resolves my IP and connects me back to my home computer. Oh, and make sure they log off the computer when finished and don't actually shut it off :) HTH David -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of John W.

So far the folks setting it up only have ity loading at logon. Thus if no one is loaded, or the wrong user is logged on, there is no remote access. Can someone give me the blow-by-blow to get it set up as a service loaded at boot and always running, even if no one is logged in? Thanks, John W.
