Hi Seb, I've installed zonealarm vnc and tight vnc stuff. I don't observe this problem. The difference however might be that I've installed the latest version of zonealarm a f t e r I had vnc installed Maybe its worth a quick try to uninstall zonealarm and re install it. That's not reasoning but it may help Dietmar
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Seb Wills Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 5:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: VNC and Zonealarm I use VNC between two machines on a LAN (the client being a Win98 machine). Normally, VNC is highly responsive, and can do a full screen refresh in less than a second. If I enable ZoneAlarm (a free personal firewall which seems to be generally fairly highly regarded) on the client machine, VNC becomes unusably slow - it can barely keep up with moving the cursor around, and a full refresh takes 10s of seconds. Initially I assumed ZoneAlarm must just slow down all traffic a heck of a lot. But if I FTP a 5Mb file between two local machines, ZoneAlarm makes negligible difference to the transfer rate (433k/s instead of 466k/s). Can anyone suggest why ZoneAlarm is particularly affecting VNC performance and how to get round this (other than turning off ZoneAlarm when I use VNC)?
