Hi Roberto, Lots of questions when you first start out.
The use of Network Neighbourhood will depend on how the interconnexion between the two computers occurs, although you say you connect to the other pc okay so lets assume you have no problems seeing each computer from either end using VNC. If I were you I would run VNC Server on both computers either as a startup service (Service Mode) or manually start a server (User Mode). This may depend on how you interconnect as to which way to go, meaning if you are using a dial up Internet Service Provider then not much use starting a server when you fire up your computer as the allocated IP address will not be the ISP's allocated IP address. So the Server at each end is then able to be Viewed by using the Viewer at the other end and specifying the IP address of the other end or you can try using the pc's INDENTIFICATION name if you can see the other computer. My reference to using NETWORK NEIGHBOURHOOD is a simple one. Example the distant pc has some files you would like to transfer. So via the Viewer you connect to distant server's pc and open Network Neighbourhood (I usually right click the start button and select Explore(r)) this will give you the environment to transfer files from the distant pc to your pc providing you can see you pcs name in the list of computer in Network Neighbourhood (My Network Places (in XP)). When you installed VNC you should have selected to install both the server and viewer and hopefully selected to provide an icon on your desktop for the viewer if not you should be able to see both viewer/server by Start/Programs/RealVNC/etc.... So the distant pc will have the server running and this can be running on both the distant pc and your pc meaning should you be at the distant pc then your server should be running at the other end. Best to run the server once you know you have connected to the network either via Ethernet/dial up/or whatever. If firewall(s) are in between then it might become more complicated to get things working the way you would like them. Your question 1 there is no area re permission for file transfers. You can do a file transfer using Network Neighbourhood (Explorer/Exploring or My Network Places depending on your Windows operating system). Your question 2 while using your viewer to view the distant server Right Click Start select Explore then click on Network Neighbourhood (My Network Places) etc... and see if you can see your other computer if you can then you can transfer files from distant server to viewer pc. However on saying that you need to ensure Sharing of Drive and/or folders is in place at the viewer pc otherwise you cannot transfer files. This is best done by sharing drive/folders with a password so when you attempt to transfer a file from server to viewer pc it will prompt you for a password before transfer of file can take place. (Only need to do this once for each drive/folder). Mapping a drive is similar situation as above namely If you can see your distant pc/hard drive/folder(s) and the are available for sharing then you can use Network Neighbourhood/Explore(ing) to map a drive from the tools options on the server pc. Long winded but hopefully of benefit to you. John -----Original Message----- From: Roberto F.

This way I don't have to bother which way is on. Right or wrong? 1- where do I look to find out if the VncViewer has or not permission to receive files from the VncServer. 2- I4m not sure I got your idea on using Network Neighbourhood from the other computer. How do you do it? How do you "see" the local computer? How do you map it? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wall, John" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'Roberto F.
