Is your Windows server set up to go to standby mode? It may be going to sleep and then waking up due to Wake-on-LAN settings... I would think it would respond faster, but I've never had good results with Wake-on-LAN...
What happens if you disconnect, wait 30 minutes or an hour and try reconnecting?

I turn on my Win2k machine in the morning, go to work, and at work I bring up the VNC Viewer and set it up to connect to my home machine. From the time I hit OK, to the time that the login window appears is 15 minutes (could be more like 20, but you get the idea). I enter my password and all is well, and if I shutdown that connection and open a new one to the same server, then the connection is immediate, no delays. I tried telnetting to the server, and during the initial 15 minutes, I get no response, nothing; but once I got that initial login, then I can telnet and I get a RFB 003.008. This initial hang before getting the login is not network related because I get the same thing if I try to login locally on the server. Any ideas as to why the initial login takes 15 minutes for server to respond? Thanks for an awesome product!
