Our goal is to RAS into them and load VNC remotely. Our >problem is that, even if we load VNC locally, we have to enter the IP >address instead of the server name to log in at 'VNC Server:'. This can be a problem with WINS(Windows Internet Naming System). If you have a WINS server running somewhere on the remote site, you can try specifying it in the RAS connection used to dial into the server. >This >will become a problem when we go a step farther to the individual >workstations, through the server, because they are dynamic and the IP >could change.

If you dont have a WINS-server and dynamic IP-adresses - then you can be in trouble. The RAS-connection then needs to get hold of a current naming list from the master browser of the remote network, and that can be a problem if a WINS-server isnt present. >What are we missing? Thanks. So far, VNC is great! Greg I totally agree.
