Unable to connect to VNC Server after converting to static I P adddress ( was no subject )

[John Aldrich]

Honestly, I don't know. I haven't used Windows XP enough to know how to
enable/disable that. It's part of Windows XP, by the way, not VNC, which is
why you couldn't find it in the VNC configs. :-)

Interesting finding....The VNC service was listed as being started 
automatically, but the status was blank, not running nor stopped. When I 
manually started the service. I received a message that another instance of 
VNC viewer was already running, but the status of the VNC Server changed to 
running. I will let you all know the outcome when I go home and try to 
connect again.

BTW, how do I check to see if I have Fast User Switching enabled? I looked 
at the default and user properties, but could not find fast user switching 
listed on either screen.

Thank you,
