You need to have ActiveSync set up to talk to your PDA over what ever physical COM port it is plugged into (also could be USB). I have very little experience with PocketPC things (I'm a Palm guy), but I believe ActiveSync then assigns the IP addresses for you. Each device needs a unique IP address to talk to each other. I don't understand from your original post what you believe the problem with the Service helper is. Are you running VNC as a service on the VAIO? The service helper just provides you with the Tray Icon so that you can set the current user settings (sometimes causing confusion of its own) and allowing you to see if anyone is connected. It sounds like you have the Tray Icon, so I think the service helper is doing it's job. The problem you are describing is with the underlying network connection, not VNC. -- William Hooper Whatever you delete today, you desperately need tomorrow > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Brian Cady" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 4:16 PM > > Subject: W2K service helper didn't come up > > > > > > > I've apparently installed VNC on both a VAIO > > runing > > > W@K and an iPAQ, but can't get them to connect, as > > far > > > as I can tell. > > > The tray icon, when under a cursor, reveals > > 127.0.01, > > > which I used as the host site/address on the iPAQ. > > I > > > used :0 as the display designation. > > > I currently can not connect to the iPAQ via > > > 'ActiveSync', or whatever its called, after > > turning it > > > off once in hopes of alowing VNCviewer access to > > the > > > VAIO.
