Nope. The machine is XP Pro sp 2. I'm not going anywhere near Vista until I absolutely have to. I did yank IE 7 off the machine because I thought it might be a problem but that didn't help either.
I am willing try anything at this point. Part of the reason I do VNC is so that I can connect to my work VNC computers as they are on a separate network and my work's network blocks internal addresses from going to them. I'll let you know if the tunneling software works. Kim Whaley On 5/15/08, Ryo Koyama <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Kim > > Any chance that you're trying to connect to a Vista machine?
