I don't see why. :0 is a valid display number. > Also please make sure you've enabled port forwarding on your router I don't see the OP ask anything about a router. Anyway, to the OP, WinXP does have a built in firewall that might be causing issues. There is some useful troubleshooting info at: http://faq.gotomyvnc.com/fom-serve/cache/4.html Personally my first step would be to see if I can telnet into the remote machine: telnet 129.252.1.72 5900 (or 5902 if you still have it at display 2). -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
