Loopback is mainly for using a secure tunnel (like SSH), because the actual connection is done from the SSH server over the loopback address (See http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshwin.html). It is disabled by default because of the issue you saw. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
