VNC over Internet strange display

[jean-pierre Boureau]

Hello John.

1) Both PC are straight to the Internet.
2) As I told, firewalls seems to work because: I get password query. If 
I enter a wrong one, the server request another one. When I enter the 
valid one, The server seems to open a session...

3) I tried 'Telnet -a -l WINUSER XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX PORT' and got a 'RFB 
003.008'. (I don't speak Telnet fluently...)

Maybe this could help... Best regards, JPB.

>>I encounter a strange thing.
>>When I connect to VNC server through Internet:
>>1) I get Password prompt (good thing).
