The code we delivered is a working copy of the modified GPL code installed with AppShare.  It does not include the proprietary non-GPL AppShare components.  Our development team shared that the AppShareHost.exe is only listening on localhost (127.0.0.1).  You shouldn’t have to make any changes for things to work for localhost communication.

To prove localhost communication works:
1.       Execute AppShareHost.exe (can be found in our AppShare install: C:\Program Files\UGS\Teamcenter 2007\AppShare\Utility)
Note:   This is our renamed exe of the open source winvnc build
2.       Ctrl+Shift+Right-click on AppShare tray icon
3.       Select “Enable Local Test Viewer”
4.       Execute AppShareViewer.exe (can be found in our AppShare install: C:\Program Files\UGS\Teamcenter 2007\AppShare\Utility)
Note:   This is our renamed exe of the open source winvncviewer build
5.       Enter localhost:74 for “AppShare server” input, select OK
Note:  That is 74, not 5974
 
netstat –na output at this point will show the following local connections (4614 port number will vary):
 
TCP    127.0.0.1:4614         127.0.0.1:5974         ESTABLISHED
TCP    127.0.0.1:5974         0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING
TCP    127.0.0.1:5974         127.0.0.1:4614         ESTABLISHED
 
You should be able to get these same results with no changes to the code.
