Hi Michael, >From what you describe, it sounds like your hosts file is not being used by any of your other applications either, and that they'll be using the legacy APIs and falling back to NetBIOS name lookup instead. If you switch to using VNC Viewer Free Edition then you should find that you'l

Hi I'm afraid that you are mistaken - you are not currently using VNC Viewer Free Edition. Given what you have described, it sounds like the other programs are NOT using the hosts file, but are instead using legacy name-lookup APIs, which fall back to using WINS name lookup if DNS, hosts etc lo

Hi Michael, If resolving the names you've specified in the hosts file works for other applications on the same computer then it'll work for VNC Viewer - VNC Viewer just uses the normal name-lookup APIs to get the host address. The only possibility I can think of is that your computer has a trashe

Jeff- One of the beuaties of RVNC Enterprise is that it can use the authentication method already installed in your environment (NIS, NIS+, LDAP, AD)- User changes the password on the domain, VNC uses it.. Regards, Mike -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROT
