listener shortcut

Hello I was trying to make a shortcut on my desktop to a RC203 vncviewer and put it on the listenmode for SC. Well I put in "C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" -listen:5583 in the Target text box. But when I click on this shortcut. Get the VNC View Satur for -listen dialog box. The status says "Connecting" then Ultr@VNC Info box popus up that says "Failed to get server address!"

If the server is connnecting to a listening view why would the view need to get the server's address??

What I am I doing wrongly?

mine worked by adding the following:

"C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" -listen -dsmplugin MSRC4Plugin.dsm -proxy repeater IP:5901 ID:1234

I would like to just get it to listen first. Never mind the dsm plugin and proxy for right now. Just to get it to go into the listen mode.

Hi,

There is a listener shortcut in the UVNC Program folder, you can also create a shortcut the program path is

"C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" -listen

No I did not find any such shortcut. But I did put a space between the " and the - and I can get vncviewer to get it to -listening mode. Then I decided that I did not need the " : " between the listen command and the port number as it is with most other program. Now I do not get the no server address dialog which is what I wanted anyway.
