Another update: after finally caving in and paying to talk to someone at Symantec, I was told the following:
NIS 2003 basically was set up to recognize and 'block' anything that was classified as 'spyware' and that VNC was abused in that manner; the tech thought that although 2004 version had resolved this, that the 2003 version may have some 'built in' protection that will not allow VNC to run. As this tech could not help with the more in-depth specs of what this built in protection might be, I was told to call another number for more technical support. I have yet to call that number. What confuses me more is that a couple of people have written to say that they have managed to get 2003 to work for them. Hopefully a resolution will be forthcoming to help the NIS impaired with the VNC issue I am experiencing. Elke ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Weatherall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'E.
