VNC versus Remote DesktopCan anyone throw any light on why a VNC connection between two machines
might hang, when a Remote Desktop connection behaves faultlessly? Everything else is the same - except that the VNC connection is initiated from the remote machine (listening client at my end).

I suggest you try some different VNC flavours than the one you're currently using.

What happens is that the connection hangs and eventually drops. My guess is that it's a networking issue rather than a VNC-server problem, and one which Remote Desktop seems to be able to take in its stride. Incidentally, my ISP is having real problems getting its newsservers up and running - hence the comment about quiet. Silent, more like.

I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups. Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Program http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Which flavor of VNC? (TightVNC, UltraVNC, RealVNC, etc) I have found that it
is usually the winvnc service that crashes. You can remotely restart the service through computer management or using a command line tool like psservice.
