Now that's what I call service! ;-) 5 replies in an hour and all helpful! ;-) Thanks Dave, I did try taking ZoneAlarm out of the loop and, although it didn't like it the first couple of times, eventually got VNC to work outside the ZA envelope. You're right, an enormous difference. Only problem now is how do I implement security at his end 'cos he's pretty non-technical. Still, he is behind the router so that may have to do for now while I think about it. Thanks for the pointer, I think this was probably the major blockage judging by performance now. Alex, Joe and Jerry I take your points too and will try to fine tune it for best possible performance by trying them out. Alex I've updated his machine with the DUN 1.3, Winsock2 and DUN/Winsock Y2K upgrades off the MS site. As far as I know that's all there is but maybe there's something I'm missing? Thanks again guys. I get to keep what's left of my hair ;-) Mick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
