Weird things

Hi!

I am using vnc to remote control a NT server from a Windows 95
workstation. Both systems are running the German versions of the OS's
and their keyboards are operating with German layout.

On a German keyboard, the backslash can be obtained by pressing AltGr
and the key right to the zero (that has an =DF on a German keyboard).
This keystroke doesn't seem to get through to the controlled system. I
have to use Alt-92 to get a backslash. Is that a known bug?

One other thing: When I start vncviewer for the first time, nothing
seems to happen. After a few minutes of time, I get the error message
"host not found". When I start a second vncviewer immediately after
the first one, that second connects gets through.

Any hints will be appreciated.

Greetings
Marc
