"server closed connection unexpectedly"

[James Weatherall]

Matt,

Server closed connection unexpectedly

Often means things like:
- VNC was running as an application , but on a locked workstation
- Something went horribly wrong internally and the server had to close the
connection.

You can look for the actual reason by looking in the Applications event log
of the server machine for WinVNC4 errors.
