Thank you for your pointer, indeed the problem was, that I never configured the default user properties. (in fact, I wasn't aware of the existence of two different properties.)
Thanks.

Check the archives. The symptoms you describe sound like you have changed a setting in the "user" settings instead of the "default" settings. The "default" settings are used when no one is logged in or the workstation is locked out.

Hello,
With version 3.3.6 for unknown reason I am not able to log in on a RealVNC server on random occasion(remotely, of course).
If I check the status of the service remotely, it shows that it's running. I stop the service remotely, then restart the service remotely, same result.
Then I reboot the computer (remotely), still the same result. I actually have to log on with a username and password on the local area network, and then voila, I AM able to log in with Realvnc remotely.
This happened to me several times in the past, so this is not an isolated incident.
1. question: Why the realVNC server stops responding to login request after a while like if it would be in a nowhere land?
2. If I stop the service and restart it remotely, it still won't help. Why?
3. After rebooting the computer it still won't accept remote logins. why?
4. Only after a phisical login will the RealVNC server function. Why?
I experienced this on Windows NT 4.0 workstation but I got the same result with Windows 2000 Workstation as well.
Does someone have a solution for these really annoying problems?
Geza
