Automatically connect VNCServer to client at restart

[Steve Bostedor]

If you check the box to send WOL, it will sit and wait for the computer
to come back to life after a reboot and automatically reconnect even if
it changes the IP.  I believe that's what he was asking.

Steve,

What is it that VNCScan can do that just connecting with the VNC Viewer
can't, in this instance?

Cezar,

If you can configure your computer to automatically log you in when it
reboots then the simplest way to have it connect out to your viewer is
to add a program shortcut for "winvnc4.exe -connect <viewer-ip>" to your
Startup Folder.  This will only work, though, if you configure your
server computer for auto-login, which is not generally advisable...

Cheers,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
