In conclusion... The remote PC suddenly accepted the connection (no changes made anywhere - honest) so I hurriedly installed InstantVNC and created an EchoServer account for it. I connected to the temporary session, uninstalled 2.34 and installed 2.35 and then connected to it. It all works fine now but what the problem was I shall probably never know.
Thanks for the InstantVNC tip Scott. It's good job I cracked it as it's a 90 minute drive to Holyhead followed by a 2 hour ferry crossing across the infamous Irish Sea, a drive through Dublin's labyrinth and a 3 hour drive south to get to the site in, of all places, Tipperary. Excellent Guinness though ;-) Regards David Scott Best wrote: > Weird...it sounds as if the DSM plugin option got enabled, either > on the Viewer or Server side.
