3. The WinXP firewall is usually configured automatically to accept incoming connections when you install the VNC server. Other software firewalls e.g. ZoneAlarm(?) may not be automatically configured and will block incoming connections. 4. The VNC server PC may be in a LAN behind a router which has not been set up to forward the relevant port to the server PC (e.g. port 5900). To overcome most of these problems you need to follow instructions in the documentation and FAQs for your operating system. -- Regards, Mick [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature] _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
