Then, the Telnet connection gets dropped. Show me your inetd/xinetd configuration. My suspicion is that when the demon starts up the VNC server, the window manager (KDM) intercepts the connection and it is never completed.

RE: Strange viewer behaviour - black non resizable screen - WinXP SP2?
James, FUS is in use on the machine but I'm not sure if any profiles were in use at the time. Certainly the screen-save timeout had occurred because I recall this was presented to via VNC. As a rule the other users of the system don't log out and given it had only been turned on that morning to access hotmail I suspect at least 1 FUS session was established. RD has never has been used on this PC. The only other point to make is this machine is (at 128M) quite memory stressed and thrashes the HDD mercilessly from time to time (one day I'll get some more RAM for it). Perhaps WinXP itself wasn't keeping its end of the bargain in a timely fashion? Regardless the viewer reacted quite badly to the (presumably) mixed signals coming from the server. I will keep monitoring the situation.

Re: windows xp sp2
I just dealt with this situation I was able to resolve the issue of installing WinXP SP2 using VNC and being able to access the system after rebooting the system with the firewall activated. I installed SP2 on a system and then added two port exceptions in Microsoft firewall. I then fire up regedit and searched for the port exception names and exported them to a file. Here's the resulting file contents... Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List] 5900:TCP=5900:TCP:*:Enabled:VNC 5800:TCP=5800:TCP:*:Enabled:VNC Java [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List] 5900:TCP=5900:TCP:*:Enabled:VNC 5800:TCP=5800:TCP:*:Enabled:VNC Java [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List] 5900:TCP=5900:TCP:*:Enabled:VNC 5800:TCP=5800:TCP:*:Enabled:VNC Java First you install SP2. Then when it finishes, uncheck the box for rebooting and click finish. Now open regedit and import the .reg file. Then reboot the system and you will be able to access the remote system via VNC. This method would also be handy for setting other default exceptions. I had tried accessing the firewall after installing SP2 but before rebooting but you can't because the firewall service is not running yet. Thanks for all the replies to my question. I wouldn't have been able to figure this out without them. James Weatherall wrote: Vince, What are the instructions you gave intended to achieve?
