Not receiving any display data - Me Too!

[J. Meltzer]

Anthony, this is exactly the problem I am having, only using Win98 
SE as the client.  The server is Win2000.

I set up a VNC server (using WinVNC) on a Win2K system.  I am 
able to access it from a client on another Win2K system (also 
WinVNC).

However, when I try to access it from my Mac OS X system, it 
doesn't work.  It connects, and accepts my password, but all I get 
is a blank screen.  (It happens to be a blank screen of exactly the 
right dimensions, FWIW.)  Forcing a screen refresh has no effect.  
I have tried several VNC clients on the Mac: VNCDimension, 
VNCThing, vncviewer running on XDarwin, and three VNCViewer 
adaptations for OS X (adaptations by Tim Senecal, Robert Kedoin, 
and Helmut Maierhofer).  All six clients give exactly the same 
behavior (except for the color/pattern of the blank screen).

The two Win2K systems are on the same physical LAN; the Mac 
is connected by VPN, and is effectively on the same network.

Any suggestions?
