This sounds vaguely familiar... I think I read a post today with a similar error message.... let me go back through today's list postings and see... Ok. I found a Google archive of the list. Here's a question -- do you have VNC Server running as a service? If not, that could be the problem. According to http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2004-November/048115.html the error message you're getting means the machine is contactable, but is not able to connect to an actively running VNC Server. Make sure that you have VNC running when you try this. Also, make sure you have Fast User Switching disabled, as that is another known issue (although the Enterprise version is supposed to have a work-around for this, as will the next free release.) John

When I try to connect to the static IP address now, I receive the error message "Unable to connect to host: Connection refused (10061)" Does this give us a clue here as to what the problem is? -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Jan 26, 2005 11:09 AM To: 'Mike Minor' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [email protected] Subject: RE: (no subject) http://www.whatismyip.com and find out what your external IP is and then try again using that IP. also, you don't give any details on what O/S, revision, etc you are using. Also, what about firewalls (hardware and software)?

I was able to connect to the server previously, just had to check the new ip address every time I reconnectd to the internet. Now, I can't seem to connect to the vnc server. I get a message that it is timing out on the connection. On the vnc server, when I was on a dynamic connection, I would hover over the VNC server helper icon in the sys tray to get the address. Now with the static ip, when I hover over the icon, it doesn't show the ip address. Does anyone have an suggestions on how to et my connection working again?
