A couple of questions on this (if you can verify the answers very easily) (1) What version of client and server? (2) Java viewer or Windows VNCViewer? (3) What do you have "Preferred encoding" set to (hit the "Options" button in either the java viewer or vncviewer.exe)? (4) What is the display

I may be misinterpreting what you said, but it appears you're saying that the VNC client connections drop as soon as you stop the VNC service. That's expected; they are no longer connected to anything. Does NetxXray show you the connected ports? If not, you can go to the server and issue this c

Sounds like you're using the Java applet. I assume you are connecting to port 5800 (which switches you over to 5900 once you have the applet). If you try connecting to 5900 with the VNCViewer executable instead, does it connect? If not, you can verify whether the server is answering by telneting

You should be able to register the VNCViewer as the application to use for opening .vnc files by runing it with the switch "-register". Make sure you have VNCViewer in it's "permanent" location of course; Windows will save the path in the registry for use when opening the VNC files. At that poin

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. (1) Win95 Issues -All versions
