  Any help on the following would be greatly appreciated:=20

  I am running VNC 3.3.3 r2 and on several servers and when I try to =
connect I get a "Connection Closed" error when typing in the password.  =
In all cases VNC has been installed to run as a service, I do have full =
administrator privileges.  If I connect once, it may work just fine, =
then it does not work.  (This works fine on 20-30 other NT servers 4.0 =
SP6a)

  I have tried to run the following from a command prompt to reset it =
but no luck:=20
  winvnc -kill=20
  winvnc -remove=20
  winvnc -install=20
  net start "vnc server"=20

  Everything says that the service has installed and it is running okay =
but the same error always comes up.  I have verified the password etc =
but to no avail.

  Please help as this is driving me nuts=20

  Thank You=20
  Steve Staves=20
