Re: Windows 2000 Pro, unstable and really slow connection. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Chapman To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 17, 2001 10:27 AM Subject: Re: Windows 2000 Pro, unstable and really slow connection. I use VNC to remotely administer a Win2K Pro machine that has a 166Mhz Cyrix CPU and just 32Mb RAM, and a 10Mbps network connection... I can even play Solitaire reasonably well through my 64K ISDN connection at home. Response is a bit juddery, by only by tenths of a second. Have a look at Task Manager while the app is running (with a connection), and see if there are any clues as to why it may be slow - ie who's hogging CPU time? You might have something trying to run near mission critical that stops lower level processes like VNC from operating effectively.
