Not a problem... I just do my little bit to help. After all, James can't answer *every* question. ;-)

All now understood and I'll run VNC in Service-Mode. Kind regards Bill -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 January 2006 14:04 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; RealVNC Subject: RE: User- or Service Mode User-mode is that VNC runs under the currently logged-on user's account and if that user logs off or reboots, the computer, VNC won't run until that user logs in again. Service mode means that VNC runs as a "service" (like your antivirus software, etc) and just sits in the background waiting for a connection. Listening VNC Viewer means that your viewer is waiting for the server to contact it and initiate a "reverse" connection -- i.e. the server connects to the viewer instead of the usual way around. This is useful in cases where the server computer is behind a firewall that the user doesn't have control over / access to modify, and the viewer computer is either NOT behind a firewall or has the correct port(s) open on the firewall, typically port 5500.
