I've upgraded to echoserver 1.63 and EchoVNC 2.35 on client and server. I'm 
connecting today from a Windows XP Pro Box to a Windows XP Home box. I think 
they are fully patched except for service pack 3. 

What I've found is that I get these reconnect messages about every ten minutes. 
With past versions it would actually re-connect after 30 seconds or so. With 
the current versions it does not seem to ever reconnect and you have to close 
it out and re-start the viewer.

However the every ten minute thing creates a bad problem for my home use. I 
have a set top computer that I watch internet television and movies (netflix 
instant watch) and computer format recorded shows on. Although I have not 
tested this out today, I imagine the problem is still there. When I am watching 
a full screen video and the Reconnecting... box comes up, the screen on the set 
top box freezes and audio continues. It does not seem to freeze if I am not 
watching full screen. 

I don't know if there are many people trying to use EchoVNC in this manner, but 
it makes it so that any computer in the house can function as a remote control 
for the set-top unit which you can imagine is very handy. 

Another factor I should mention is that the set top computer and usually the 
remote computer are connected over a wireless network. I just checked here at 
work and I'm getting the same ten minute Reconnecting with no reconnection 
problem over a wired network. The EchoVNC server in this case is 2.00 as the 
computer is running NT4.
