Hello Everyone,
 
I have a problem that I can't seem to overcome and would greatly appreciate 
some assistance.  Some background, all of the computers I mention are running 
VNC 4.1, Windows 2000 Professional, and ZoneAlarm Pro 5 (latest edition).  
 
Here's the story.   I have three computers connected peer-to-peer at one 
location.  I have the same admin account established on all of them with the 
same pwd.  One of those computers is set to answer the phone after 2 rings.  My 
other computer at the other location dials in to that comp to attempt to access 
the network and use VNC.  My problem is if the receiving computer is not logged 
in, I can't VNC in to it.  If it's sitting at the login prompt, then I can 
connect to it (it answers the phone and connects), but the VNC connection fails 
everytime.
 
I've searched through the archives and found that their have been some 
complaints in the past about ZoneAlarm Pro and VNC - specifically the startup 
order of those programs (both are a service) and the conflict.  I'm totally 
stumped as to what the cause is.  I've tried opening port 5900 in ZoneAlarm for 
all traffic all the time and that doesn't change anything.
 
I think it may be related to Windows Networking as I can't connect to any of 
the shared folders or other computers via VNC if the receiving computer is not 
logged in.  If the receiving computer is logged in then all is well, I can VNC 
in to it or the others with no issue as well as connected to shared folders.  
But if it's not logged in, no dice.  I've tinkered around with the RAS settings 
to no avail either and can't figure it out.
 
Anyone have any ideas?  It's driving me crazy.  I've had to leave that comp 
logged in all the time to get connected and can't seem to sort it out.  My 
thanks in advance!
-Jesse
