Some additional information... I attempted the same thing using TightVNC, which has some logging capabilities, etc.
I get the same result. The logs on the server appear to be the same whether I have a successful or failed connection. However, on the vncviewer/client side, when the viewer times out and disconnects, it gives me a "ReadExact()... Socket closed" error. Hopefully this extra info will help??? -----Original Message----- From: Kelan Birnbaum Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 2:22 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: VNC Server on Windows 2000 and Watchguard VPN Problems I use a VPN client to access the corporate LAN from home. The VPN is a Watchguard Firebox (not sure which version). On the internal corporate LAN, I have VNC 3.3.3r9 installed on a WinNT Workstation and on a Windows 2000 Pro box. Internally, I can access both machines via the vncviewer, no problem. When I VPN in, I can access the WinNT Workstation w/o any problems. When I try to connect to the Win2K box, it prompts me for the password and after it authenticates me, it starts to bring the remote desktop up: the grey screen that says "Please Wait: initial screen loading...". However this is as far as it gets. The grey screen remains and does not finish loading the desktop. After a 1 or 2 minutes, it times out and disconnects. It works internally, it works via VPN on the WinNT box, so it appears to be a combination issue with the Watchguard and Windows 2000. At home, I am going thru a Sonicwall router, which I've heard has some VPN issues with its latest firmware, but I get the same results if I dial out via my modem, so that's not the problem. Any suggestions. Is there a log file I can check somewhere that may shed some light on the situation? Thanks in advance for any info/help! ======================= Kelan Birnbaum [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
