Subject: VNC and NT - "Connection Closed" errors
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
