I know many people have discussed this error in these lists before, however all of them pertain to ports and other local settings, none of which have anything to do with my configuration.
First, this came out of nowhere - I have been using VNC for about 2 years, and then all of a sudden about a week ago this starts happening. There are no firewalls on EITHER end (my company's data center or my home connection). There have been no changes to my network configuration at all on either end. One day this error just started. This is also happening on all 9 of the servers I use VNC to connect to. All of the servers in the data center (the ones I connect TO) are running Windows 2000 Advanced Server, with all of the latest Microsoft fixes installed. Two of them are running the latest version of VNC, the others are an older version, but all of them are having this same problem. I am connecting FROM a Windows XP box, plugged directly into my road runner connection (no firewalls or routers). I cannot connect through the VNC client *OR* the Java client. There is no message on the Desktop client other than the standard "unable to connect". The Java client @ port 5800 gives this error. I was thinking that maybe Road Runner had blocked the ports for some unknown reason, but I have asked friends who are not RR users to try to connect from their homes and they are having the same problem. Is there any updated information on this issue, and why it would just stop working out of nowhere? Could it be a recent Microsoft fix that caused the problem? WindowsUpdate is run regularly on all client and server machines. I really don't think it's a port blocking issue, as this is the most basic setup you'll find and there are several machines having the same problem, all running different versions of VNC. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
