Thanks again Alex, I can shift the ports to the 5900 range, although all things being equal I cannot see how this will make any difference. This is what netstat on the client (192.168.0.3) shows: ======================================== C:\WINDOWS\system32>netstat -ano Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID TCP 127.0.0.1:1026 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1796 TCP 127.0.0.1:5802 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1988 TCP 127.0.0.1:5802 127.0.0.1:1357 TIME_WAIT 0 TCP 192.168.0.3:1355 192.168.0.2:28 TIME_WAIT 0 TCP 192.168.0.3:1356 192.168.0.2:28 ESTABLISHED 1988 UDP 0.0.0.0:1028 *:* 976 UDP 0.0.0.0:1039 *:* 976 UDP 0.0.0.0:1053 *:* 976 UDP 0.0.0.0:1092 *:* 976 UDP 127.0.0.1:123 *:* 880 UDP 192.168.0.3:123 *:* 880 ======================================== After I disable the "Only accept connections from the local machine" and it connects to the VNC server (192.168.0.2), the client (192.168.0.3) shows: ======================================== C:\WINDOWS\system32>netstat -ano Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID TCP 127.0.0.1:1026 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1796 TCP 127.0.0.1:1361 127.0.0.1:5802 ESTABLISHED 3812 TCP 127.0.0.1:5802 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 2380 TCP 127.0.0.1:5802 127.0.0.1:1359 TIME_WAIT 0 TCP 127.0.0.1:5802 127.0.0.1:1361 ESTABLISHED 2380 TCP 192.168.0.3:1360 192.168.0.2:28 ESTABLISHED 2380 UDP 0.0.0.0:1028 *:* 976 UDP 0.0.0.0:1039 *:* 976 UDP 0.0.0.0:1053 *:* 976 UDP 0.0.0.0:1092 *:* 976 UDP 127.0.0.1:123 *:* 880 UDP 192.168.0.3:123 *:* 880 ======================================== And this is what the server (192.168.0.2) shows when I cannot connect: ======================================== F:\Documents and Settings\salcol>netstat -ano Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID TCP 0.0.0.0:28 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1948 TCP 127.0.0.1:1027 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 908 TCP 127.0.0.1:1042 127.0.0.1:1043 FIN_WAIT_2 1948 TCP 127.0.0.1:1043 127.0.0.1:1042 CLOSE_WAIT 1948 TCP 127.0.0.1:1045 127.0.0.1:1044 TIME_WAIT 0 TCP 127.0.0.1:5803 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 252 TCP 192.168.0.2:28 192.168.0.3:1356 ESTABLISHED 1948 UDP 0.0.0.0:1040 *:* 1468 UDP 127.0.0.1:123 *:* 1400 UDP 127.0.0.1:1041 *:* 1948 UDP 127.0.0.1:1047 *:* 240 UDP 192.168.0.2:123 *:* 1400 ======================================== and this is what it shows when a connection has been established: ======================================== F:\Documents and Settings\salcol>netstat -ano Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID TCP 0.0.0.0:28 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1948 TCP 0.0.0.0:5803 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 1988 TCP 127.0.0.1:1027 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 908 TCP 127.0.0.1:1049 127.0.0.1:1050 FIN_WAIT_2 1948 TCP 127.0.0.1:1050 127.0.0.1:1049 CLOSE_WAIT 1948 TCP 127.0.0.1:1051 127.0.0.1:1052 TIME_WAIT 0 TCP 192.168.0.2:28 192.168.0.3:1360 ESTABLISHED 1948 TCP 192.168.0.2:1055 192.168.0.2:5803 ESTABLISHED 652 TCP 192.168.0.2:5803 192.168.0.2:1055 ESTABLISHED 1988 UDP 0.0.0.0:1040 *:* 1468 UDP 127.0.0.1:123 *:* 1400 UDP 127.0.0.1:1041 *:* 1948 UDP 127.0.0.1:1054 *:* 652 UDP 192.168.0.2:123 *:* 1400 ======================================== Meanwhile, I read this in the Documentation: " If VNC Server is configured to accept connections only via local loopback then the Hosts option is ignored. " What does it mean by "Hosts option"? The field where you can set which IP addresses to accept/query/reject? The fact that I can connect fine to the WinXP VNC server with Linux krdc client with "Only accept connections from the local machine" selected and not with WinXP VNC viewer leads me to the conclusion that this is a WinXP issue. What else can I try? -- Regards, Mick [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature] _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
