When trying to debug network connections first try telnet before you try the app (vnc). Can you telnet to the machine you're trying to reach with vnc? If telnet works you should recieve some response like 'RFB...'. The command for using telnet is something (for unix) $ vnc REMOTEIP 5900 _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
