But I don't have any settings like that. I suspect the VPN is blocking the VNC to access the server. Is there any way to find out if VPN is blocking it? Thanks, Sean Zhang "Scott C. Best" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/30/2003 03:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Failed to connect to server: VNC + VPN Sean: Heya. Is it possible that the target VNC Server is running with an AuthHosts setting? That is, it may be setup to restrict connections from anything with an IP address in a limited range; when you dialup you may be given an address in this range. You'll need to look in the VNC registry keys to know for sure.
