Re: VNC Connection Freezes / Drops

James says, "This sounds like an issue with your network." - Nope. We have reproduced this behavior between two boxes (NT W2K) that are on the same ring... that is, we aren't even making two hops; we never hit a router or bridge. In our case the machines are using token ring; however, t

RE: VNC Connection Freezes / Drops

James, The VNCviewer that freezes (in our case) is a Windows 2000 box. VNCserver is running on an NT box.The symptom is that the cursor (mouse) freezes on the vncviewer window, only allowing us to move the dot. We can move up and close the vncviewer window and restart the viewer and continue
