VNC and Windows 95

[James Weatherall]

Jaakko,

Connect Refused means that the remote computer is not running anything that
is accepting VNC connections on the specified port number - this will be
because the server is not listening.

Try running the server in application mode, using:

Winvnc4.exe "log=*:stderr:30"

>From a command-prompt, and look for error messages regarding networking.
