No luck unfortunately. The card is happy to accept packets of any size up to 65500 bytes. So I'm still stuck in the position of being able to connect to my PC while it's running VNC, but getting a completely blank screen. Just to reiterate, the only thing wrong with the connection is that the screen is blank - I can still remotely move the mouse, type etc., I just can't see what I'm doing. Thanks in advance for any further help you can give me.
