Sorry, Meant to say! I'm using RealVNC v3.3.5 for windows on Windows XP Pro and the system I normally use the viewer on is a Win95 laptop. Only reason I wanted to use the loopback is to play with things because making changes on the actualy laptop would be about one change a day because it's at work! It's purely all being setup so I can access my home PC from work when needed Regards, Graham

VNC on the Windows platform is designed to show you what the console desktop looks like. What do you expect a VNC windows showing itself repeatedly to look like? I don't understand how you expect to "understand the best setup for VNC server" by using a loopback connection. Even if it did work differently (for example, different desktops in Linux) you would be comparing a virtual, basically unlimited bandwidth connection to a 56kbps modem. It would be better to just try a setting over the modem and see how it worked, then make changes and try again. Also look at the "Auto" option in VNC 3.3.5. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
