I have installed vnc server on a PC (windows 2000). When I connect from a remote PC, after I enter the password I can see the screen for about 2 seconds and then it disappears and the connection is dropped. I have installed the exact same configuration on 5 other PCs with no issues, just this PC causes problems.

The following is the log file from a sample connection (vncviewer -logfile c:\vnclog.txt -loglevel 10). You'll notice that the following exception occurs near the bottom of the script (rdr::Exception: rdr::SystemException: read: Unknown error (10054))

Any help is appreciated
