Hello Apologies if this has been asked before, I have searched the archives but couldn't find an answer.
I'm trying to install VNC on a remote server running Windows 2000 Server, I have access to it at the moment with Terminal Services, but want VNC there as a backup for the times Terminal Services goes wrong. I've downloaded both current versions, 3.3.3r9 and 3.3.3r7. I've downloaded and tried both current versions (3.3.3r9 and 3.3.3r7) - shut down the service and uninstalled between tries of course, but I find I am unable to get it to work properly. I want to install it as a service, so I run 'Install VNC Service', I then start the service through Administrative Tools > Services but I'm not asked for a default password. I've also tried (on removing and uninstalling), rebooting rather than starting the service manually but this didn't ask me for a password either. When I then try to connect to the server I get a message saying that there is no default password set and that incoming connections are not accepted until a default password is set. I've tried exactly the same process on a Win2K server in the office, this one immediately asked for a password on starting the service and I can connect no problem. There is a firewall on the remote system, but the required port is open - I can get through to it, as explained above it tells me there is no password, so it is not a firewall issue. I've also tried running the VNC Application and setting a default password, but I still get the error message when trying to access the server. Does VNC perhaps just not like being installed from Terminal Services? I really hope somebody can help, this problem is really driving me mad ;) Regards, Simon Lowe --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
