I had the same problem; enter the IP address of the host rather than the host name, it should connect without a problem. Also, make sure you have the latest client build, even if it is designated a beta release.

My experience has shown that it does funny things to a WinNT box after terminating the connection; the local keyboard becomes unresponsive. Stick with the VNC Viewer PPC. tlatshaw Dan Harrison wrote: > Hi guys- > > I discovered VNC in a MacAddict Article "10 Things You Don't Know How to > Do (and Probably Shouldn't)", and it worked great under Mac OS 8.6. > However, Mac OS 9 is out, and has been for sometime.
