Yes, as both a VNC client and a VNC server. I'm not sure if you were saying you have a problem connecting to or from an XP system, or both ways.
That error message shows up for an unresolvable name. If the same name forms work on the other machines, try doing a ping from the command line. For example, if the name you used was foo or foo.my.org try ping foo ping foo.my.org You will probably find that either WINS or DNS data is not being updated; possibly the XP and the other systems do not use the same DNS servers or the NetBIOS name resolution over TCP/IP is not enabled. Try connecting via IP address. If that works and you can't see what the problem is yet, post a few more details: + What the problem connection is - viewer on XP to server on Win2K, viewer on Win2K to server on XP, or both. + How is the name specified, a "bare" host name like foo or an FQDN like foo.my.org + How are the 2000 and XP systems accessing DNS and local name resolution services compared to each other. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Prater" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, 2002-05-06 18:14 Subject: Windows XP > Sorry for the incorrect subject line on the first e-mail > > > I have been running VNC on my Windows 2000 machines.
