Hi all, I have two PCs, one WinXP one Win2k, connected through a switch, without a firewall or VPN connection between them. Just a plain Ethernet connection.
When I reboot the WinXP machine, I am unable to use VNC Viewer on my Win2k machine to connect. I see the following error: Unable to connect to host: connection refused (10061) However, if I go to my WinXP machine and do CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up the login prompt, I am able to connect through VNC. Note that I do not have to log in, just bring up the login prompt. If I log out of WinXP (not reboot), I am also able to connect using VNC just fine. I do not have this problem on the Win2k machine. I can reboot Win2k (without CTRL+ALT+DEL or logging in), then connect to my Win2k machine using VNC viewer on my WinXP machine without any problems. Here is what I have tried so far to fix the problem: * Verified both PC are running VNC as a Service * Reinstalled RealVNC on both PCs * Installed TightVNC, had the same problem * Verified I can ping the WinXP in the state when I receive the error * Verified "Fast User Switching" is disabled (I am on a network domain, so that is unavailable) * Verified "Remote Administration is disabled * Verified I am a member of the "Administrators" group for the WinXP machine * Ensured both the Service-Mode and User-mode passwords are the same I have searched the email archive and other internet sources and have not been able to figure out what is going on here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
