It's only a few machines locally. I attribute it to problems on those particular machines, not with VNC in general, as VNC in general works very well here. I have a couple VERY busy, VERY underpowered servers which I have to manually force the color depth down in the viewer and manually select the encoding (i.e. ZRLE) in order to get any responsiveness from. Strangely enough, these machines are running TightVNC server on Windows 2000 Server. I've got a Windows NT DC which is VERY snappy and responsive, even though it's just a single-processor PC. As I said I think it's mainly dependant on the machines workload, not on VNC. Thanks John
