That's not the problem, the Datatransfer is going through my local hub (in my room) and the rest of the house is completely switched, so I see no problem here. I will use it only from here, not over the internet.

I want to use Linux or W2k. I don't know yet. But on W2k I will use Zonealarm to disable Internet access to VNC. -- Bye, Patrick Cornelissen http://www.P-C-Software.de ICQ:15885533 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
