OSXvnc does not have any proprietary authentication or encryption mechanisms. The easiest resolution is to turn off ARD which can be done under System Preferences -> Sharing -> Services. Feel free to copy that message to any places on the web you previously looked for an answer but didn't get one. OSXvnc isn't a Real VNC supported product so it's best to use the contact methods recommended in the FAQ. -- Jonathan Gillaspie http://www.redstonesoftware.com Redstone Software Inc. -- Makers of Platform Independent Automation Software > I am running RealVNC 4.1.1 on an XP Pro SP 2 laptop and OSXvnc 1.61 on a > Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.3. > > > I am attempting to operate the Powerbook remotely on my LAN using the VNC > Viewer on the PC.
