Connection closed means the two machines are communicating OK, it's just that the remote machine won't let the connection continue.
Windows 2000 and ZoneAlarm have a whole bunch of issues together (well documented in the archives) including connection closed, blue screen of death, etc. Have you tried another firewall to rule this out? Do you have a password protected screensaver running at home? This has been known to cause a problem. I take it from your message that you're running the same version of the same distribution on both machines? Same colour depth, resolutions? If you enable loopback connections, can you connect from the home machine to itself successfully? Rich -----Original Message----- From: Mike Hennon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 26 April 2002 14:04 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Connection Closed message I have just recently downloaded VNC and installed it on my home machine (Win2k Pro) and my work machine (XP). When I try to connect to my home machine I get prompted for the password, enter the password and then get the message "Connection Closed". I have searched the internet for an answer to this but have found the same question in a couple of places with no answer. I am running ZoneAlarm on my home machine and have it set up like they recommend for VNC usage. I am behind a firewall at work and I even tried configuring it to allow my machine to have wide open access in/out through it and still get the same message. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
