Failed to Connect to Server

[Scott C. Best]

Theodore:

	Heya. Since you cannot telnet into the server while it's
running, there's either 1 of 3 things wrong. First, it's possible
that the server's not really running. On WinnT, I use the fport
utility to see what's actually active and listening to a port.
Also, please be sure you're using the very latest version of VNC
when you test.
	Second, it's possible that a "software firewall" has been
put in place on your WinNT machine, either as part of the WinRoute
package, part of WinNT itself, or as a standalone application
(like Norton Internet Security or ZoneAlarm). To find those, you'll
have to closely examine the processes running on your PC. I use
WinTasks Pro for that.
	Lastly, it's possible that WinVNC is running, but is
listening to a non-standard port. The fport utility can help trace
that down as well.

	Hope this helps!
