Looks like you changed multiple things at the same time (OS on your parents machine and you went to VNC 4.0) so pinpointing where the problem is may be difficult. I use VNC 4.0 on XP SP1, 98, 2000 and ME machines without any problems so my guess is that you can rule out VNC as the culprit for not running now. You say your parents machine just went to XP so my guess is they have SP2 which has the Windows firewall enabled by default.
You say 'firewall is cleared'. What exactly does that mean? If you have not done so already you might want to TEMPORARILY turn off the Windows firewall and see if that makes a difference. If it starts to work then, you at least have a starting point. Then you can re-enable the Windows Firewall and try opening port 5900. Alan.

We now have ver. 4 on both machines, but they have a new XP machine. Now I cannot connect from either direction. Password has not changed, firewall is cleared, IP addresses are correct. I really need to good ideas on what to check next. Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more.
