I think for some reason Windows had changed back to using all US keymaps and language settings, so obviously the keymaps between the VNC client and viewer were different. At first when I changed the server keymap I was convinced that the problem hadn't gone away - but I realised I had actually set the password with the US keymap, so the password wasn't what I was typing! Its working now anyway, thanks for the help. Andrew McCall ** Get our Metrolink back on track!!!

RE: Able to connect, but unable to log in to Windows server... ( U pdate)
Hi All, My use of VNC V4 under Windows environment sometimes encounters a similar situation re case of entering data from VNC Viewer to Server. I have found in most instances the Server keyboard may inadvertantly be in Caps mode and the Viewer is in unshifted mode. There is little way of knowing if this is the case and all I do is put my caps key on the Viewer to get round logging onto distant Server. Just a piece of information. Wez in both your examples below the Hash key was displayed. I am sure you understand the country of origin's keyboard may display a different symbol however the ASCII key code would be equivalent.

RE: Able to connect, but unable to log in to Windows server... (U pdate)
John, No, the keys do give different character codes, otherwise the characters produced wouldn't match the symbols, since UK keyboards have both hash and pound symbols on them. What you saw in my mail is basically, a 7-bit ASCII vs 8-bit ISO-8859-1 thing, I think. The pound sign is character 163 in ISO-8859-1 while the hash is ASCII code 35 - ASCII mailers will probably fudge one into the other to allow it to be displayed. Cheers, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. I am sure you understand the country of origin's keyboard may display a different symbol however the ASCII key code would be equivalent. retranslate them to the wrong thing, in this case screwing up the # key (Hash, not UK pound, which is # :) ) ___ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
RE: Able to connect, but unable to log in to Windows server... ( U pdate)
Thanks Wez I can handle the explanation as I am well into ascii character code being a QBASIC programmer. Your probably correct in saying some applications may reduce 8big to 7big notation and thus lose the significance of the character code.
