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

[David Cook]

Wez -

	Hey, very good guess...exactly right!

So, why is it that RealVNC can't handled that, since
TightVNC clearly does?  Is there a workaround for
RealVNC?

Cheers...

            Dave

Hi David,

Are you running connections over a wireless link, by any chance?

Cheers,
