Graham, If the file is using an IP address and both machines can connect to the VNC Server at that address when the IP address is specified on the VNC Viewer command-line, or in the Connection Details dialog, then the only other explanation I can think of is that whatever means you're using to transfer the file from A to B is corrupting it.
The error you're seeing indicates a failure to resolve a host name - this means that when copied to the second machine, the .vnc file contains data that looks to VNC Viewer like a host _name_ rather than a host _address_. Without having the actual files to look at, I'm afraid it's impossible to diagnose further. :( Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. > -----Original Message----- > From: Graham Richardson > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 05 October 2004 15:36 > To: 'James Weatherall'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Copy VNC Files > > The file is using an IP address to locate the server and both > computers can ping the address. > > It also works when typing the address directly into the > viewer and when using the java interface just the file is the problem. > > I know this may seem like a small point as I could create a > file on the new computer but I need to roll this out across > our network. > > Many Thanks > > Graham Richardson, > IT Manager > David Price Food Services Ltd. > > Tel: 0191 2958815 > Mobile: 07843268657 > Fax: 0191 2958801 > Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > David Price Food Services Ltd aims to prevent the propagation > of viruses, but cannot guarantee that this email is virus > free.
