I still see the exact same results throughout my testing. I experimented with the following settings for the DWORD ConnectPriority value: 0,1,2,3 (just in case there was something incorrect in the docs).
When using "1" I am able to successfully do connection sharing. For any other value, I always have the first connection dropped when the 2nd one attempts to connect. Can anyone shed some light on this? I have found some references to -shared and -noshared switches in the archives, but nothing that documents exact usage requirements - and I have been unable to make any use of those switches work. Note that one combination I have *not* tried is to have the 2nd connecting client use the -noshared switch; requiring this seems to defeat the purpose anyway. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tracy Millar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday/2002 January 24 10:08 Subject: Re: ConnectPriority - Registry info : Hi there, : : I actually made the changes on my server to reflect what Alex has and still : the same results, the VNC server connection gets dumped when a second : connection is attempted. : : Tracy : : ---------- Original Text ---------- : : From: "Alex Angelopoulos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, on 2002/01/23 1:23 PM: : To: iSMTP@HQNT11@Servers[<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>],Tracy Millar@MIS : SIG@IDRC CRDI : : COMPARISON OF REGISTRY VALUES : : (SUMMARY NOTE: Tracy is having an issue with having a VNC server connection : dumped when someone else connects to the same system. : She has, as can be seen, created the ConnectPriority DWORD with a value of : "2", restarted the server, etc.) : : Just a quick note - I am going to try checking this out on my system, but I : did a quick check on the registry values.
