RE: Mcafee Firwall Issue
Tim, You may find that there is already error information logged in the Applications Event Log on your system, with WinVNC4 as the event source name. You can cause a log file to be generated by the following: Remove the service with winvnc4 -unregister -stop Re-install the service with winvnc4 -register -log *:file:100 Then reboot the system. In order for this to work, there must be a TEMP directory in the root of the system drive. E.g. C:\TEMP. A WinVNC4.log file will then be generated there the next time the service starts, i.e. when the system next boots. The log file should include all errors & debug info.

Im using the vnc4beta version.

RE: Mcafee Firwall Issue
You could set the vnc service dependency to depend on the firewall service (DependOnService binary registry entry). -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Macklenar Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 6:23 AM To: 'James Weatherall'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Mcafee Firwall Issue The icon looks normal, just waiting to connect.

The icon looks normal, just waiting to connect. No messages. Is there a log file that I could look in to see if VNC is seeing anything on the server. As a work around, I am going to make a batch file and put in startup, that stops the service, then restarts. Where can I find the command lines to accomplish this?

Mcafee Firwall Issue
This is my first post so hopefully this worked> Im having problems with Mcafee Firewall. My PC sit behind a lynksys router, I can connect to multiple machines behind the router. On one PC, I have installed Mcafee Firewall. VNC is installed as a service. I can not connect to the machine until I stop and restart the vnc service. Firewall lists the VNC service sometimes. When I restart the service, it show VNC and the listening ears in the active program section. I can connect and all is fine. When I reboot the machine, I can not connect until I stop and restart the service again. It's like VNC is not registering with Mcaffe firewall, or Mcafee firewall is not detecting the VNC service. Ive tried allowing all connections types, and no filter on the VNC program with no luck. The only time VNC shows up as active in MCFW is when I stop and restart the service. Any ideas?
