Connecting to Server 2000 box

[Beauford, Jason]

My question to you is:

Why are you using VNC to remotely access a Windows 2000 Server machine
when you could simply enable Terminal Services in Remote Admin mode and
avoid all the trouble?

I apologize if youve already seen this.  Had a little email problem.


Anyway, here goes my question/issue:

Im about to throw a server out the window.  I have the latest download
of RVNC enterprise server loaded on my Windows 2000 server box.  (not
pro acting as a server)  I can use this server to connect to and view my
XP running laptop with no problems what so ever.  However,  when I try
to use my XP laptop to view the Windows 2000 server,  Im SoL.  = the
time it flat refuses the connection.  I have tried the various methods
of security and encryption, to the extent of turning all that bloody
stuff off, and it STILL
wont connect.   I grabbed a real nice port scanner, and sure enough,
default port 5900 is wide open.   What gives?

Heres a weird part, and I think its key.  No matter the Authentication
I set,  when it does manage to actually connect and give a login dialog,
the username is greyed out,  no password I ever enter is right.  It it
has [No
Encryption] in the dialog title.   Now,  is this the root of the
problem?

Thanks!!
