Joel, It is an absolute fact that VNC Server does *not* attempt to connect to a DNS server except in the case that it has been requested to make an outgoing connection to a listening viewer.
Either the program you are using to detect these accesses is wrongly attributing them, or some aspect of your system configuration is broken is such a way as to cause periodic VNC Server events such as refreshing the tray icon to somehow employ DNS. Which version of VNC Server are you running? Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dr. Joel M.
