Greetings, I've done a bunch of research on this and was wondering if anyone has found an absolute cure:
Host machine: Win2K Advanced Server SP4 Running: VNC Server 3.3.7 Clients: VNC Viewer 3.3.7 >> Win98SE (local LAN), WinXP Home x 2 (1 local LAN, 1 across internet) Server sits behind Linksys router (NAT) which in turn is connected to DSL modem. The appropriate ports are being forwarded to the VNC host machine. Clients on the internal network (using viewer 3.3.7 > Win98SE & WinXP) both seem to be stable. When i connect from my WinXP client from a remote Internet location (also behind NAT gateway), every so often the following behaviour occurs: Connect and prompted for password authentication. Enter password. Screen changes as if everything's A-OK. Window appears with grey background with the text: 'Please wait initial screen loading...' (at least something to that effect). That stays on for approximately 30-45 seconds and then vanishes. Just ups and disappears with nothing to show for it. The task doesn't seem to be running anymore. Try to reconnect. Almost immediately a 'fail to connect' alert box is displayed. Try to reconnect via Java/browser, with no luck. Logging into the host machine from the console, the system tray icon is there but disappears when moused over. Restart the service using the services window. no system tray icon reappears. Reconnect from remote station. No problems occur. My testing is on-going but this is getting annoying. Haven't seen this occur through Java only yet. I've done a lot of searching through the mailing list archives with no concrete solutions. There is no BSOD - the server doesn't go down - only the VNC service does. In fact there's an entry in the System Event Log (source Service Control Manager): Type: Error User: N/A Category: None Event ID: 7031 Description: The VNC Server service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 0 milliseconds: No action. So the service goes down, and doesn't restart. Can't reconnect through any means unless the service is restarted manually. Any one have any concrete solutions? Is this version incompatible with Win2K? Should i try a new version? An old version? Etc. Thanks for your time!!
