Yes. I have posted about this a couple of times recently, and found a few similar postings, but no answers that help me; presumably it is an uncommon problem. VNC viewer on a Win98 machine has an arrow cursor which lags the dot cursor, often for many seconds; and the connection invariably drops after never more than a couple of minutes. This happens with 4 or 5 different flavours of viewer (TightVNC, esVNC, etc.) Another Win98 machine does not have this problem. There's a wireless network, a couple of routers, and a VPN over ADSL involved: but this, and the wireless NICs, are common to the good and the bad machine. Unique to the unstable machine: AMD K2 processor; ATI All-in-Wonder PRO PCI card (Mach64 RagePro chip); Adaptec 2940U2W SCSI card. I use a wireless mouse and keyboard; but replacing the drivers with standard PS/2 mouse and keyboard drivers, and the display driver with standard VGA makes no difference. best wishes, -- Michael Salem _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
