It sounds like the VNC service may have crashed or hung. Assuming you are running the server on the default port, you can try a telnet to port 5900 just to see if it echoes back the RFB protocol number. If it times out, you can't access the server; if it refuses connection, the service is no longer running. If it does echo back a string such as RFB 003.003, then the problem is most likely in the VNCViewer client software.

In : fact the only task would be to shutdown the machine remotely. VNC installation : on Mac was no problem. On the server I first got the message "The SCM could : not be contacted - the WinVNC service was not installed" while not beeing : logged in as admin. It worked as admin and I run VNC as service as : recommended. Now the problem is, that I get the error "The server could not be : found. This may be because the server is not running, or because the adress of : the server was incorrect.", after a long period of waiting, when I try to : connect from the Mac's viewer. The IP adres is correct, VNCserver is running : an even a volume of the NT machine is mounted on the Mac's desktop, so there : should be no physical problem in the network. The Mac runs with OS 9.1. What : could be wrong? Any advice? : : Best regards : : Claus Rothweiler : --------------------------------------------------------------------- : 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 : --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
