Unfortunately, VNC does not work well with XP. You will need to disable Fast User Switching if you want to use VNC reliably. It's a shame though, as that is one of the best features of XP... Philip Starks wrote: I'm connected to and controlling another computer but when I click on the limited

Scott, You should still find that you can re-enable the firewall and set VNC server as an exception - I'd be interested to hear whether that then works (with or without a reboot). It may be that Windows firewall is getting confused by the order in which it and VNC server start up - if VNC server

Mike, No, "Add New Client" is used to connect out from a server to a listening viewer. This is termed a "reverse" connection, since it is more normal to connect from viewer to server, and is mainly used where firewalls prevent viewer to server connections. Regards, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. > -

Scott, Can you check the Application Event Log on the problem server machine, to determine whether connections are even being received by VNC Server? If the computers in question are on a LAN, protected by a NAT firewall, then you probably don't want to leave a firewall enabled on the computers t
