Apologies if this has been dissected at length in the 1998 back-issues. I am running VNC in server mode on a Compaq ML370 running NT4 SP6a. The topology from my client (running WIN98) is:
(client).......(Cisco router1).......(cisco router2).........(server). The client can ping the server and traceroute shows that both client and server are using the same path to each other. I have reviewed inbound and outbound interfaces on both routers and there are no access lists preventing any traffic passing through. I have telnetted to the server from the client to port 5900 and receive solely the message "RFB 003.003". I have debugged the traffic on both routers and am seeing traffic from and to tcp port 5900 (though not much...) However, when I make the connection to the server I receive the login prompt, enter the (correct) password, and then receive the message "Please wait - initial screen loading" and then nothing happens. The session appears good, and I have control of the mouse (I can move the dot around) and keyboard of the server (I'm working in a lab and can see the pointer move), but there is nothing but grey screen until the session times out. I have played with various screen and connection options to no avail. I am able to connect to the server from another NT server which is connected via the same topology. An NT server coming in through a remote connection had the same problem. I've read the FAQ, the Documentation, and the mail archives (1999-2001). In the latter I percieve that this is not a new problem, but sadly have not been able to read any appropriate answers. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
