Rob, could you double-check the setting in your registry again? The reason I ask is that I *have* seen cases where some registry settings are not correctly preserved (and theoretically I suppose there might even be cases where VNC might not have permission to read it). In any case, if it isn't w

ConnectPriority is only 1/2 of the answer. (in fact, I too am looking for the other half). ConnectPriority prevents the current user from getting kicked (this is a good thing - and it does work) but it doesn't address the issue of someone else coming in with a shared connection and joining the or

The existing official version of WinVNC can only obtain hints as to changes to the display, which it must then verify since they sometimes overestimate what has changed. Conversely, some updates (some scrolling, some console windows) cannot be hooked for hints, so WinVNC polls them, chewing the C

Yes you can. What you need is to know your internet IP address, and connect to that. The way I do it is to use DNS2Go from Deerfield Software. It's a little app that sits on your machine, and sends out a 'heartbeat' whenever you're connected to the internet, and keeps a domain pointing to that
