Headless VNC on a Mac

2002-04-16 Thread Chris Bartlett
I have my firewall all set up (PM7100 running IPNR) and VNC server on the Mac seems to work just fine (AT&T version). However, I want to make this a headless machine (no keyboard, mouse, or monitor). Every time I boot the Mac without the monitor attached, VNC fails to respond from remote. Is
