server closed connection unexpectedly

[Wall, John]

Hi Alan,

I have not installed SP2 on XP platform although I did once install the beta
version and immediately uninstalled it because nothing worked afterwards.

My understanding of SP2 XP is that is closes off all ports thus VNC I assume
is stumped. I have not reinstalled SP2 XP but our employer is eager to start
the procedure and I am concerned about VNC with this installation.

As yet haven't read up on what to do but I have read that SP2 XP installs a
firewall with all ports closed off.

So it is possible you need to look at the need to open port 5900 VNC and
5800 Javascript VNC via a browser.

Just a thought but I would be interested from fellow users of VNC as I
myself will need to know how to open these ports once SP2 XP has been
installed.

Regards.

John
