Most likely, this is an issue with how password setup is done in VNC. Here's a way to make sure that the password configuration is done correctly.
The following method was actually a recipe that Floyd Russell developed for making sure that VNC runs correctly on Win2K servers with Terminal Services; in general, it seems to be the best method to use with NT 4, Win2K, XP, and .NET in any flavor. To my knowledge, it has always made this work correctly if done with a clean install of VNC. <quote src="Floyd Russell"> "1. Install VNC 2. Install VNC Service 3. Start->Programs->VNC->Run WinVNC(AppMode) 4. Enter your password, this is for the current user. 5. Start->Programs->VNC->Administrative Tools->Show Default Settings 6. Enter your password, this is for the local machine 7. Close WinVNC 8. Start WinVNC Service You may need to start the service helper if you want to modify settings of the winvnc instance running. This problem is due to the way Terminal Services operates, since you are working in a virtual desktop." </quote> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jozef Leeuwen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED];[EMAIL PROTECTED];;;> Sent: Sunday, 2002-05-26 12:26 Subject: [VNC] connection closed > Hi, I've installed VNC 3.3.3 installed on an HP Netserver LH Pro with 32MB RAM and W2K professional, 800x600, 16 colours. > > Any time I want to connect from a client (windows), it will ask for the password, and then send me a 'VNC info' window with the text 'connection closed'. > > I've got no clue on what could be the problem.
