OK, here are some answers. I connected to my system with no graphics on the screen. It connected fine. I then tried to view a photo, full screen, using the standard XP preview viewer. It painted the entire screen (with me not moving my mouse at all), and then when it was done painting, the viewer just terminated. No error message, no crash, no log file, nothing. It was as if I had hit the close button, or gone to the Task Manager and terminated the process. It also didn't ask me if I wanted to reconnect, which it is set to do by default.
OK, I reconnected to the machine, and it started painting, again with me not moving my mouse. It got partway done, and then exited. This time, though, at least I got an error message. It says: "read: Connection reset by peer (10054). Do you wish to attempt to reconnect to <IP address>?" (Obviously the real IP address appeared there. Again, though, no log file. There are no wireless links in the picture. My viewer here is connected directly to our network, which is then connected to the Internet via T1 (or higher speed). The Windows Event Log on the host shows some "Connections: closed: <IP address> (Timed out)" messages, along with some that say, "Connections: closed: <IP address> (read: Connection reset by peer (10054))". Anything else I can provide? (BTW, not moving the mouse while it's loading is very frustrating, because I always forget, and when it's loading graphics, I get antsy. :-) -----Original Message----- From: James Weatherall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 3:00 AM To: Mickey Ferguson; 'B.

What would be useful to know is what error you get when the connection fails during the initial screen download. It would also be useful to know whether either viewer or server computer are connected via a wireless link to the Internet, and whether you still see the problem if you make sure not to move the mouse while the display contents are coming in (yes, this may actually make a difference...) _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
