I have a Windows 2000 Pro machine with vnc set up. It works fine when the machine is not locked. The problem is that I can't connect when the machine is locked. I have confirmed that ZoneAlarm is not the problem since I can connect all I want when the machine is not locked and ZoneAlarm loaded. It used to work just fine when my machine was locked. Vnc would load and I would be able to see the screen and enter my password to unlock the computer, and ZoneAlarm was runnning then, too, so that is not the problem. Now, when my machine is locked and I try to connect with the vncviewer, it will ask me for the IP address, and then when I hit connect it just quits. Also, the java viewer won't display anything either.

Please don't tell me to leave my computer unlocked when I'm away as a workaround as I don't like to do that. What I do is set vnc to lock my computer as soon as I disconnect. I also don't like to log out as waiting for it to log in is a waste of time, and I like to leave my aim running so I can still get messages when I'm away. I haven't tried it with logging out andn I wouldn't want to even if that worked. I should be able to connect with vnc like I used to with my computer locked.

Does anyone know of any real workarounds to this so that I can have my computer locked and connect with vnc? I have been up and down searching the archive and haven't found any solutions, so I don't know what else to do. Any answers are greatly appreciated.
