Never having had a hardware firewall, this may be a moot point, but I
personally like the fact that I get a window pop-up when something I havn't
previously authorized tries to connect out.
Actually I can think of one advantage of a soft firewall. The ability to
control what specific applicati

You're actually woefully *overpowered*. There are no native issues that
would affect this, so the bottleneck should not be VNC itself.
Win95 OSR2 with 1999 era apps will be quite peppy with 32 MB RAM. You
should be fine. Here are some things to check, though.

I have found that zonealarm is the culprit.
Try shutting down zonealarm, starting the viewer then restart zonealarm.
Zonealarm will then work with everything else and you will find that (for
some reason) VNC doesn't go through it.
Hope this helps.

Mick - If you haven't already, you might try nailing up the speed and

are trying to auto-negotiate, generating a lot of CRC errors.

I've found the biggest kicks in performance is HIGH RES WALLPAPERS! They eat
up som much bandwidth because VNC has to send all that data across to the
viewer. I've set all my server to the plain jane blue to keep speed up.
One other thing I noticed slowing it down is resolution. 800x600 on a l
