That's weird, but there might be a problem with some files used by the VNC server. It could also be an issue with the handling for that port.
As a test, try telnetting to port 5900 of the VNC server BOTH locally and remotely. You should see this echoed back when you connect: "RFB 003.003" If it occurs neither locally nor from a remote site, there is a problem with the WinVNC server. If you can connect locally but not remotely, then it is a problem with the forwarding. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Lanter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday/2002 January 10 00:17 Subject: Can connect to vnc server with java client but not vnc-viewer!! : I have a windows 98 machine running vnc version 3.3.3r9 that sits behind : a linksys DSL router.
