Bill, If you are connecting to any VNC 4 series server (including VNC Enterprise Edition) for Windows, you will find "Connections: accepted" and "Connections: closed" messages in the Application Event Log of the computer on which the server is running. The only reason that these might not be there is if you have explicitely reconfigured the server's logging settings from the defaults.
Is there a Log value under HKLM/Software/RealVNC/WinVNC4 in the registry?
