Sounds like you're using the Java applet. I assume you are connecting to port 5800 (which switches you over to 5900 once you have the applet). If you try connecting to 5900 with the VNCViewer executable instead, does it connect? If not, you can verify whether the server is answering by telneting to port 5900. You should get a message echoed back that says
"RFB 003.003" If this doesn't work, either the server is not running or port 5900 is blocked between you and the system.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Turnbow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday/2002 January 31 11:53 Subject: Loading Initial Screen then disconnects : Hi, folks. : : I'm a new user to the VNC mail list.
