Next Steps.... You said if you run it in viewer mode it is ok but not in service mode.
Open the services control panel, stop the vncserver from running open the vnc server's properties Put the following into the statr parameters box (no quotes) "-log *:EventLog:100" Press the Start Button (ok just leave this for now) Open the vncviewer program type in 127.0.0.1 hit ok (this will give you your error) now, open event viewer (Start->Run eventvwr.msc) Click on application log Starting at the top we should have some events with a source of WinVNC4 Since they go in reverse chronological order start with the bottom most one. Angelo I may need some more help from others to solve this...... After clicking on the tray icon and selecting options, if you look at the connections tab by default there is a + sign in access control. If that is still there you should be able to do a local connect. I don't know what would block loop back connections(in version4) other than some sort of software firewall. Angelo p.s. how do i turn on logging and where does the logging go?
