Hi Kasia, As I stated previously, VNC does not change any network settings, nor security settings, of either the viewer or the server computer, so I'm afraid that that can't be the problem that you are having.
The difference between "passive" and "active" FTP is that active FTP creates has the FTP server connect back to the client for each file-transfer operation, whereas passive FTP transfers the data using the original FTP connection that the client made to the server. Active FTP often fails on modern systems because of NAT firewalls, which won't allow the connections from server to client unless they actually monitor & process the FTP session themselves. Similarly, other firewalls (such as the Windows Firewall built-in to XP) will block active FTP connections if they are not specifically FTP-aware. FYI, when you're having connectivity issues, it's always helpful if you can provide the actual error messages or behaviours that you are seeing, rather than just saying "it doesn't work"! :) Regards, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kasia Wichrowska [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 09 February 2007 11:56 > To: 'James Weatherall' > Subject: RE: Trouble after uninstall > > James, > > Unfortunately, this issue came after RealVNC > install/uninstall and I am > positive that it is related to RealVNC, not Dreamweaver.
