I guess you just need to restart the services.
I had the same thing on all systems where I updated to version 4.

Subject: VNC4 Does not work on Windows XP but VNC 3.3.7 Works Fine


Hi all... need help...

I just uninstalled VNC3.3.7 and migrated to VNC4.  It just does not work.

I have windows XP SP2.  No firewall.  I have a router and it is all setup
properly to accept connections.  Everything was working great with 3.3.7.

When I try to connect externally via a VNC Viewer, the viewer immediatly
closes after I click OK and never returns.  I checked the Task Manager and
it seems to disapear after I click OK.

I tried connecting via a java enabled browser, it immediatly displays a page
not found.

I am using the proper port in all situations.  After all, it was working
fine with 3.3.7.

I have disabled Remote Desktop and Fast User Switching in windows XP (and
rebooted) and still does not work.  I have Access Control in VNC4 all
empty - thinking that will allow access from all IP addresses. (Is that
correct?, if not, how can I allow full access) I just want it open to all
IPs.

It just seems that the VNC4 server is not responding back to requests
although the server is running and I am able to see it in Services.

One more thing, I was only able to access it from my own machine.  I was was
not even able to access it from the LAN where the router is not in the
picture and all the ports are open...

Something is wrong and I need help... could it be a bug?

Thanks
JB
