Just wondering if this problem posted in May 2004 was ever solved? I am having exactly the same problems trying to VNC into a windows 95 box. Can VNC out, but when trying to VNC in, I get the error "unable to connect to host: connection refused (10061)"
Have tried VNCing in as localhost on the 95 box and get the same error. Tried Winvnc4.exe "log=*:stderr:30" And get the following: Starting User-Mode VNC Server Date-Time RegConfig: registry changed MsgWindow: null _this in b30, message 24 MsgWindow: null _this in b30, message 81 MsgWindow: null _this in b30, message 83 When I try and access the server both remotely, and as localhost on the machine itself, I get nothing in this window, and get the connection refused. When I shut down the server, I get MsgWindow: null _this in b30, message 2 MsgWindow: null _this in b30, message 82 The box is running Windows 95B (4.00.950 B) and IE 4.0 version 4.72.3612.1713 if that matters. Any help would be appreciated.
