Hi,

I reply to your msg because I have similar problems with the Linux TightVNC viewer 
against Windows 2000 servers. I have two Win2000 machines, called A (running Windows 
2000 Professional) and B (running Windows 2000 Server) for now:

1) Connecting to A succeeds, even when the "login" screensaver is running. I don't 
even need to use F8 -> Send CTRL-ALT-DEL, I can press this combination right away and 
get my login window.

2) Once a connect to A or B is established, pressing F8 and using the menu item 
"fullscreen" will crash the viewer immediately. Launching vncviewer with -fullscreen 
succeeds, but switching back to normal mode using the menu item "fullscreen" will 
again crash the viewer.

3) Connecting to B always fails, when the login screensaver is running: 

bromkamp@machine # vncviewer B
VNC server supports protocol version 3.3 (viewer 3.3)
Password: 
VNC authentication succeeded
Desktop name "B"
Connected to VNC server, using protocol version 3.3
VNC server default format:
  16 bits per pixel.
  Least significant byte first in each pixel.
  True colour: max red 31 green 63 blue 31, shift red 11 green 5 blue 0
Using default colormap which is TrueColor.  Pixel format:
  32 bits per pixel.
  Least significant byte first in each pixel.
  True colour: max red 255 green 255 blue 255, shift red 16 green 8 blue 0
Using shared memory PutImage
vncviewer: read: Connection reset by peer
ShmCleanup called
bromkamp@machine # 

When I try this more than once, I also get:

bromkamp@machine # vncviewer B
VNC server supports protocol version 3.3 (viewer 3.3)
Password: 
VNC authentication succeeded
vncviewer: VNC server closed connection
bromkamp@machine # 

Connects will be established immediately and without problems when the screensaver is 
not protecting the console.




I have reinstalled both servers and clients to be sure that all parts stick together 
correctly but to no avail.

Any hints?

TIA,

        Hartmut
