It seems to me that Xvnc will always allow localhost connections. According to the current docs the "-localhost" switch makes Xvnc "Only allow connections from the same machine.", as opposed to WinVNC which requires a registry entry to allow localhost connections. Could be different in the older version, though. Any possibility of allowing outside connections temporarily to make sure that works? -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
