This is similar to a problem I've seen mentioned on the list, but I haven't seen an answer posted yet that works for me.
I'm using the RealVNC Free edition. My computer (A) can connect as a viewer to computer B (a desktop running XP Pro) and to my laptop (running XP Home). However computer B cannot connect as a viewer to computer A although it can connect to the laptop. I have tried using both UserMode on A (which says it is not accepting connections) and Service Mode on A. There is no authentication called for and no password required. Computer B gets the error message that the Connection Closed Unexpectedly. When I check the Event Viewer log to see why, I get the explanation: SocketManger: unknonwn listener event: 0 The Windows Firewall is turned off on both computers. Computer B CAN access computer A's files through network sharing with no problem. A ping test from B to A passed. I have turned off Fast User Switching on computer A since that was cited as a possible problem somewhere on the RealVNC website. Any ideas on why B can't see A when A can see B?
