You could have a registry confusion. I you are running it as a service, then open regedit and delete h_key_currentuser/software/orl/winvnc3 Stop and restart the service and all should be fine.

Phillip... VNC was written so that the server properties always shows a password length of 8 characters, despite the actual number of characters in the password. Can't give you a good reason why, but that's the way it is. ...br ----- Original Message ----- From: Pj Smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 10:14 AM Subject: password problems When i try to connect to the server through the vnc viewer I get vnc authenication failed error. So I load up the vnc server properties to change the password. Then I try to connect again and I get the same error. I noticed thought that the password doesn't seem to be changing. It is a password with 8 characters, and ill change to a password with maybe 5 characters press apply then ok then when I load the properties again its back at 8 characters, even it I change it to a password of 10 or more characters it doesnt change. Any suggestions? Thanks Phillip Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ Unlimited Internet access -- and 2 months free!
