XP Home Edition Question

[Eric Richardson]

   I'm  using  a  dsl router and have confirmed that the correct port are
   forwarded  (5900).   However,  I  always  have trouble connecting from
   outside my home (like from work).  I have connected successfully using
   the  loopback feature (I only have one computer to try this on).  When
   I  try from outside, I get the password prompt, enter it, then I get a
   completly  blank (black) screen.  WinVNC is running as a service under
   the  local  system  account.  Does someone need to be logged in to the
   computer for this to work?  Anyone else have this type of problem?
