Glyn,
You are not the first to report this strange behavior on Win2K. I am
unable to reproduce the problem in our Q/A lab so far. Could you provide
some more details?
1- What OS are you using? Win2K Server, Advanced Server, Pro?
2- Do you have terminal services installed? Running?
3- What license model is in effect? Per server or per user?
4- Have you enabled logging in the WinVNC.exe server?
For AT&T and TridiaVNC binaries:
HKLM\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\
DebugMode=DWORD:0x00000002
HKLM\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\
DebugLevel=DWORD:0x00000009
For TridiaVNC Pro binaries:
HKLM\Software\Tridia\TridiaVNC\WinVNC3\
DebugMode=DWORD:0x00000002
HKLM\Software\Tridia\TridiaVNC\WinVNC3\
DebugLevel=DWORD:0x00000009
Then look for the "WinVNC.log" file in the WinVNC.exe directory or
the windows directory when running as a service.
If you could post the relevant section of the log file, or email me
the whole thing, I'll take a look at it.
