Jeff:
Heya; sorry for the very late replies to your detailed messages.
Yes, there is a "bug" in Kaboodle's GetEngaged connection that can
cause the connection to be unreliable, especially in "direct mode".
If you can connect using KaboodleProxy via a common echoServer,
the overall connection should be more reliable.
Sorry for the confusion. I look forward to having this repaired
in the 2.0 release.
-Scott

Hi Done some more tests.To make it clearer. Source network and Target network. When I make a Direct connection I've not been able to remote control from the Source network to the Target network, only from the Target network to the Source network, which is a little frustrating, as might be obvious.Any ideas on why this might be happening. Are there any settings I need to make sure are set? Or is this a bug?Regards Jeff You wrote on Sat, 5 Nov 2005:Hi Further to my previous post.Actually I tried VNC with direct connection again just after I posted this and of course it worked this time. I was however remote controlling the initiating computer to the direct connection from the one that had been connected to. However trying it from the other direction I sometimes get the message 'TightVNC info - Connection closed'.Any thoughts? Kind regards Jeff PS I must admit I am finding all the permutations a bit confusing. You wrote on Fri, 4 Nov 2005:HiI've somehow managed to get Direct Connection working fine now - maybe I didn't have the ports forwarded correctly one end.Now I seem to have uncovered a small problem. I can connect fine and remote control my master node pc on the other end if I connect using the Kaboodle Proxy - I am using TightVNC as the remote control software.However if I connect using the Direct Connection method the remote control doesn't work - I get an hourglass for a few moments and then nothing. I try it again and nothing, no sign of TightVNC viewer firing up.I've tried this a few times and it seems to be consistent.I also have a hunch that remote control doesn't work if you one party makes the connection via Kaboodle proxy and then the other one tries to remote control a pc on the first network. Although I guess this would be quite an unusual scenario.One small point - I can't seem to disconnect by right-clicking the connected network's name and selecting disconnect. It's never worked for me. The only way I seem to be able to disconnect is to close down Kaboodle.Another small point - when I close down Windows XP Professional with Kaboodle running Kaboodle doesn't get closed like other programs but instead I get a dialog requiring me to 'End Now', which is a shame because I cannot then restart the computer remotely - this blocks the restart process.Thanks again for a great free set of programs.
