I have the following problem (3.3.3r7) two machines (win2k SP2) one has the VNC Server running. The remote machine dials into our network over ISDN (dual channel 128k). Once the connection is made, the other Win2k machine on the network connects to the VNC server. I'm sure there are nicer ways of doing that bit, but that's not the problem.
After a certain amount of time (not always the same but around the 5 minute mark), the viewer seems to freeze. The remote pointer doesn't move about etc. This seems to affect the whole ppp connection. I can no longer ping the remote machine. If the remote machine disconnects from the network and then reconnects, the viewer can be used again until it freezes. The VNC server is not restarted. I don't have any problems using VNC on the local network - I can have connections for hours. I can dial into the network from a win98 machine and connect to a VNC server on a Win2k machine with no problems. Any ideas anyone. It may be the connection, but I'm not convinced yet. I trawled throught the mailing list archives and found an almost similar problem, but closing the viewer and reconnecting solved that - the whole connection disappears in this case so the viewer can't find anything to connect to. If I don't use VNC, I can keep the connection alive for as long as I need and transfer data to and from with no probs. ========================== Jason McClean IT Manager Listawood Limited Tel: +44 (0) 1485 529100 Fax: +44 (0) 1485 529200 http://www.listawood.co.uk Enquiries: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ========================== --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
