Hi, Sorry, Fridays are a half day, so I didn't get any of the emails till this morning! I did manage to get VNC working after I changed the subnet to 255.255.248.0, it just took a while to 'refresh'. I think my network card is having problems, it drops my network every now and then, either need a new card or format and re-install windows.
I'm just reading through all the emails, learning a few things about TCP/IP that I didn't know before, especially with Corne's post, thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed explanation. Cheers for everyone's input Ben ========================================================== Triumph International Ltd Arkwright Road, Groundwell, Swindon, SN25 5BE Ben Blackmore I.T.

If the machines are on the same subnet the router is not involved. The only way the MAC would be an issue is if the machine were talking to each other before the move (which it seems they weren't). And the reboot to change the subnet mask (assuming MS Windows) cleared out the local arp cache anyway. We are all just pissing in the wind until Mr. Blackmore comes back with more info. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
