I ahev VNC up and running on a Win2K server and its been working for
the few days I've been testing it. I have absolutely no clue about
WinNT or Win2k but I saw a lot of functionality that seems to be
installed by default on Win2k so it maybe something there causing
problems. Oh, this is running as a service.

Some suggestions :-

- Have you tried telnetting to the port VNC is supposed to be
  listening on to check its there ?

- Have you checked the process list/services list to see if VNC is
  running ?

Sincerely,

Adrian Phillips
