Scott --
thank you for the reply;
When I start the viewer on the laptop I use the server's IP address. "Ping"
times out.
Ping must be trying to use the wired network adaptor - which has no cable
connected; the only network connection from the laptop is the wireless
adaptor.
Ipconfig shows:both the wireless and the wired adaptor; an ip address for
the wireless and "media state media disconnected" for the wired
adaptor
DoI need to do something to force realvnc viewer to the proper network
adaptor?????
Gary

Heya. Quick question: when you start the Viewer on the
laptop and "specify the desktop server", do you use the server's
PC name or its LAN IP address (10.0.0.xxx I hope)? If using
the IP address doesn't work, what does it say when you run
"ping <vnc.server.ip.address> from the command line?
