Bob, Sorry for the late response.
Forgive me if I am misunderstanding the question, but I thought this was how VNC was supposed to work. When the viewer disconnects, the server session remains active -- the display is retained, programs keep running etc. I use this all the time... from the office, I connect to my home PC (the VNC server) and do some work, then shut down my office computer and go home. When I get home I start VNC viewer (server and viewer are now on the same machine) and the VNC session is right where I left it, so I can resume work right where I left off. The next day, I go back to my office, and find the session the same as I left it when I left home. Not only is this a case of "not a bug but a feature," but this feature is one of the motivations behind VNC. Indeed, the very first feature listed on the old VNC home page (http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/) is: "No state is stored at the viewer. This means you can leave your desk, go to another machine, whether next door or several hundred miles away, reconnect to your desktop from there and finish the sentence you were typing. Even the cursor will be in the same place." --Robert > Hi, > > Yesterday I initiated an outgoing connection from Windows 2000 to a listening > viewer on Windows XP.
