If the LAN is "trusted", than that would be safe. How much trust you should put in your LAN is another issue entirely. (Hint: In many cases, I find the answer should be "none".) VNC listens on TCP port 5900+N, where "N" is the VNC display number, starting at zero. It also provides an HTTP server on TCP port 5800+N. Said HTTP server provides a Java applet that implements a VNC viewer. You can disable it completely in the WinVNC server settings. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
