Thanks, John. I have to say that I don't seem to have problems "viewing", via a wireless USB adaptor on a PC at my end, those of my "clients", PC or laptop, who connect wirelessly. The only difference I can think of is that my remote connections are all through Hamachi.

I'm not sure why, but it seems like using a laptop with a wireless connection to view a server on a wired connection pretty much just works (barring things like firewalls, etc.) but trying to view a VNC server on a wireless connection is going to be problematic, depending on wireless equipment, etc. It's almost as if the wireless is using a different subnet or something and refuses to route the VNC protocol over the wireless. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
