WinVNC on NT returning unusable applet

Tue, 09 Jun 1998 11:42:47 +0000

Hi,

I have a problem with WinVNC 3.3.2 Installed on NT Server 4.0 SP3.

When I connect from a Win95 client (MSIE 4.0 or Netscape 3.0) with
http://MyServerName:5800/ I get a useless applet back (tiny size).  See
source of document....

<HTML><TITLE>VNC desktop</TITLE>
<APPLET CODE=vncviewer.class ARCHIVE=vncviewer.jar WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=32>
<param name=PORT value=5900></APPLET></HTML>

However, when I connect from the server console using MSIE there is no
problem.  Obviously I cannot log on for loopback reasons, but the HTML
page dispensed to the client is correct!

<HTML><TITLE>VNC desktop</TITLE>
<APPLET CODE=vncviewer.class ARCHIVE=vncviewer.jar WIDTH=800 HEIGHT=632>
<param name=PORT value=5900></APPLET></HTML>

Has anybody experienced this problem?? 

My client and Server are on different (but trusted) NT domains.  Does
this cause a problem as I cannot seem to get a stable connection with
the windows viewer.  It asks for VNC authentication and then just
disappears.

Thanks for any advice.
