What is the OS of the server? Assuming it's a Windows system, the answer is in the documentation (although I had to have it shoved in my face before I noticed...)
This is from the WinVNC server documentation page - http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winvnc.html (1) Find this registry key on the server: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\ (2) Underneath it, create a DWORD value named ConnectPriority (3) Set it to 2 The original documentation section follows - ============================================= ConnectPriority By default, all WinVNC servers will disconnect any existing connections when an incoming, non-shared connection is authenticated. This behavior is undesirable when the server machine is being used as a shared workstation by several users or when remoting a single display to multiple clients for viewing, as in a classroom situation. ConnectPriority indicates what WinVNC should do when a non-shared connection is received: 0 = Disconnect all existing connections. 1 = Don't disconnect any existing connections. 2 = Refuse the new connection. This is a Local machine-specific setting. ===================================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Franck Chevalier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday/2002 March 04 12.41 Subject: VNC Security ? : Hi : : I'm new on this mailing list then please forgive me if I ask anything : already discussed here...
