Determining or trapping IP addressess of viewers connected

[Robert Segelbaum]

Thanks to both of you guys, but, Unix-nitwit that I am, I don't even 
know netstat, is that a Unix-shell command or what? The problem is 
that my VNC server runs on three physical machines, only one of which 
is Unix-based (actually Linux) and so I doubt that netstat would help 
very much on the Windows platforms.

Mick, you will be getting a chat gmail invite from me, I hope that's ok.

Best,
Rob
