Philip - You may want to try running vncviewer with a log, like this:
vncviewer -logfile c:\vnclog.txt -loglevel 10 This should give a log of what the viewerr thinks is happening in decent detail. If that is insufficient, a server-side log can be set up by adding this in the registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3] "DebugMode"=dword:00000002 "DebugLevel"=dword:00000010 The log file thus generated should normally show up in the VNC folder, but in any case will be named simply "WinVNC.log". If you are getting forcibly disconnected by the server, it will state what the reason for the disconnection is. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip R Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, 2002-04-19 09:32 Subject: RE: disconnect > Rich, I am running the same version of the same distribution of Windows > 2000 on both machines. > The drivers are different, however, apparantly due to the different display > hardware.
