Launch VNC thru a Webpage that was Created thru Visio 2003

Ah sweet, is there a way to have it like this:

http://frontdeskpc:5800/  ?????

Using a system name (host name) instead of an IP address requires a look up and conversion from name to IP address. One way to do this is to let Windows do it for you via the hosts file. Each entry in the hosts file consists of an address/name pair.

The hosts file is usually located here:
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Make sure you locate the one WITHOUT a file extension.

Open the hosts file with Notepad. If you've never edited it, you'll probably see several lines of comments, then an entry like this:
  127.0.0.1 localhost
This entry equates the name "localhost" with an IP address of 127.0.0.1.

To set up address/name pairs just add additional lines to the file in the same format, e.g.,
   192.168.1.5  frontdeskpc
  192.168.1.6  backofficepc
  192.168.1.10  server1   fileserver   fred
(the last entry is legal -- you can equate multiple names to the same IP address.)

The hosts file is unique for each PC. If you want to invoke VNC from multiple PCs, you'll either need to modify the hosts file on each PC or look into DNS mechanisms that rely on a central name/IP repository.

One final note: many system protection suites block or protect access to the hosts file -- you might need to know how to authorize yourself to make the above changes.

As long as the user clicking the link can resolve the name to an IP, I don't see why it would not work.

So how did things work out for you?   Were you able to get it to work?

Sorry for not dropping a note on this the initual setup with IP addresses worked great, but I seem not to be able to vnc to a name(FrontDesktopPC1) for example.

Did you try my suggestion above about editing the hosts file?

I started too, but then got to think if the IP address changes on any of those pc's then it won't connect or won't connect to the right pc.

I'd have to set static IP's for every pc and I don't know if I would want to do that.

If this is a windows domain or you should be able to resolve the name to your own DNS servers.   Years ago we used a program to manage our PC's that used visio show the layout.  Visio can be tied to a database and you could update the IP in the database with scripts or ties to AD, DNS, etc.  

steveoskh I like that database with scripts idea
