RealVNC doesn't work between two Win-XP systems...

[David Cook]

Hi -

	This week, I downloaded the free-edition, V4.1, of
Real-VNC.  (I used both VNC and Tight-VNC in the past.)

	I hate to say it, folks, but I can't make a connection
last for longer than about 30 secs and two or three mouse-clicks,
before the 'viewer' window on the client just disappears.  I
tried one Win-XP machine as 'server' and two other Win-XP
machines as clients, all with the same result.

	[I'd have THOUGHT a v4.1 would be pretty solid.
But, rather than fret, or debug, or whatever, I instead loaded
the latest 'TightVNC' kit, and that works just fine.]

	Just thought I'd let you know.  So, can anyone give me
a reason why RealVNC might be superior to TightVNC, if I were
to invest some cycles in troubleshooting the problem?

	Anyone have any strong guesses as to what is probably
the problem?  (All 3 of the  Win-XPs have SP2 with all the patches.)


Cheers...
