LOL - About the only way you could get that kind of boot time now is to use a PalmPilot.
This has reminded me of something I've noticed which may be of interest to other heavy VNC users on Win32. I use a mix of VNC, pcAnywhere, and Windows Terminal Services for remote control on Win32 platforms; in some cases, I have 2 clients enabled for various purposes. Interestingly enough, the VNC services on port 59xx seem to be one of the last things to shut down on NT platforms - even after netlogon services. I've been in the situation before of having NT systems hung on shutdown just before poweroff which would allow me to log on. I couldn't *do* anything, unfortunately (apparently the system would never see my attempts to send Ctl-Alt-Del, either from the menu bar or via shift-Ctl-Alt-Del) but the service was still running... ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday/2002 January 07 08:24 Subject: Re: Netgear Router, Port 5900, Not Working : >4) I know this is probably blatantly obvious but make sure your host : >computer is powered on when you try to connect.
