Vnc Viewer not reading host file

[James Weatherall]

Hi Michael,

>From what you describe, it sounds like your hosts file is not being used by
any of your other applications either, and that they'll be using the legacy
APIs and falling back to NetBIOS name lookup instead.

If you switch to using VNC Viewer Free Edition then you should find that
you'll be able to connect.

Cheers,
