Hi Alan, I have not installed SP2 on XP platform although I did once install the beta version and immediately uninstalled it because nothing worked afterwards.
My understanding of SP2 XP is that is closes off all ports thus VNC I assume is stumped. I have not reinstalled SP2 XP but our employer is eager to start the procedure and I am concerned about VNC with this installation. As yet haven't read up on what to do but I have read that SP2 XP installs a firewall with all ports closed off. So it is possible you need to look at the need to open port 5900 VNC and 5800 Javascript VNC via a browser. Just a thought but I would be interested from fellow users of VNC as I myself will need to know how to open these ports once SP2 XP has been installed. Regards.
