I have a default password for VNC. It doesn't matter whether it matches my Win2K network password or not. In neither case will a vncviewer session survive Win2K asking for a password after locking the Win2K screen. Default resolution? User resolution? I'm not finding this.

The behavior here, on Solaris, is that shift+ctrl+alt+del does nothing in the viewer. Neither does ctrl+alt+del, nor shift+alt+f4. alt+f4 exits the viewer, as expected. Sigh... On 12 September 2001 at 16:36, "Steve Palocz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Since you are on Unix (Sola

My viewer has no task bar. All I have is a Motif-ish (CDE?) window with it's normal move, resize, etc. controls. There are no VNC controls on the title bar for the VNC viewer window. That's on the Unix (Solaris) side. If I try to bring up a viewer on the PC, I get "loopback

I'm still trying to solve my problem here. First I had to discover that I needed to turn off all APM support on my laptop running Win2K or it would lock-up 2/3rds of the time whenever I left it running with a password protected screensaver turned on. Now that that's "solved"
