Are you in a Windows domain? if you are, just using the smae name will not work correctly. All Windows NT and W2k machines have to join the domain. as each machine joins the domain, they are assign a GUID which is unique in the domain. even if you name the computers the same they will have a different GUID hence not the same machine.

A few months ago I installed WINVNC server version 3.3.4 on about 30
Win2Kprofessional boxes. Recently 5 of the boxes' leases expired so I
removed them from the network and installed a new box with the same computer
name to the network. Now I cannot get WinVNC to work properly on these new
boxes. I installed the software the same exact way, but whenever I try the
viewer is says "failed to connect to server". I have it installed as
registered as a service, but I am clueless as to why it no longer wants to
work on these new computers. It still works fine on the other computers.
Anyone have any suggestions? Or has anyone else experienced this type of
thing?

Thank you!
