Mcafee Firwall Issue

[Albert G. Zaretzka]

You could set the vnc service dependency to depend on the firewall service
(DependOnService binary registry entry).

The icon looks normal, just waiting to connect.  No messages.  Is there a
log file that I could look in to see if VNC is seeing anything on the
server.

As a work around, I am going to make a batch file and put in startup, that
stops the service, then restarts.  Where can I find the command lines to
accomplish this?



Thanks

Tim,

It's possible that this is a timing issue.  If VNC starts before the
firewall then the firewall may not correctly pick up the service's incoming
connection socket and may therefore lose connections.

It may be worth asking McAfee about this - if it affects VNC then it will
probably affect many other network services.

What does the VNC tray icon say when you have rebooted and can't reconnect?

Cheers,
