Hi,
I reply to your msg because I have similar problems with the Linux TightVNC viewer
against Windows 2000 servers. I have two Win2000 machines, called A (running Windows
2000 Professional) and B (running Windows 2000 Server) for now:
1) Connecting to A succeeds, even when the "login" screensaver is running. I don't
even need to use F8 -> Send CTRL-ALT-DEL, I can press this combination right away and
get my login window.
2) Once a connect to A or B is established, pressing F8 and using the menu item
"fullscreen" will crash the viewer immediately. Launching vncviewer with -fullscreen
succeeds, but switching back to normal mode using the menu item "fullscreen" will
again crash the viewer.
3) Connecting to B always fails, when the login screensaver is running:
bromkamp@machine # vncviewer B
VNC server supports protocol version 3.3 (viewer 3.3)
Password:
VNC authentication succeeded
Desktop name "B"
Connected to VNC server, using protocol version 3.3
VNC server default format:
16 bits per pixel.
Least significant byte first in each pixel.
True colour: max red 31 green 63 blue 31, shift red 11 green 5 blue 0
Using default colormap which is TrueColor. Pixel format:
32 bits per pixel.
Least significant byte first in each pixel.
True colour: max red 255 green 255 blue 255, shift red 16 green 8 blue 0
Using shared memory PutImage
vncviewer: read: Connection reset by peer
ShmCleanup called
bromkamp@machine #
When I try this more than once, I also get:
bromkamp@machine # vncviewer B
VNC server supports protocol version 3.3 (viewer 3.3)
Password:
VNC authentication succeeded
vncviewer: VNC server closed connection
bromkamp@machine #
Connects will be established immediately and without problems when the screensaver is
not protecting the console.
I have reinstalled both servers and clients to be sure that all parts stick together
correctly but to no avail.
Any hints?
TIA,
Hartmut
