AW: listening client only gets gray screen- but mouse moves

[Johannes Kutsam]

james,

I am using Windows XP on both clients. I am using the most current VNC 4. -
Well the screen was rather black then gray, sorry for that mistake. 
The connection seemed to work one way - the server received the mouse move
events from the client - but the client didn't receive any screen data.

regards,
johannes kutsam
