Instant disconnect from server!

Post by Mrpopup »

I have two PC's on the same lan and can VNC from A to B with no problem, however when I try the reverse (B >> A), the following occurs on the client (B) PC:

1) VNC Authentication dialog displayed.
2) I enter correct password and click "Log On"
3) The VNC Viewer Status dialog shows "Password accepted"
4) The primatry VCN windows opens
5) Within 1 second the primary VNC window closes

On the target/server PC (A):
1) The wall paper is removed
2) The screen flashes
3) In spite of the connection failing, the wall paper is not restored.

Thats it!

What am I doing wrong? I have compared all settings on both A & B and they are the same etc.

Thanks.

I have had a very similar problem. I had a Win 98 machine running UltraVNC server RC18 or some other RC version. I also have a Win XP Pro machine with 1.01 viewer which works fine with Win XP UltraVNC servers of several vintages, some updated from earlier versions to 1.0.1.

When I updated the Win 98 to server 1.0.1, I started having systematic immediate disconnects.

I have recently been trying to connect a remote Win98 machine running UltraVNC SingleClick 1.0.1 (server) to connect to the same 1.0.1 viewer in listening mode; the connection breaks after a few seconds. The machine has had some installation of UltraVNC in the past.

The common factor is Win 98 server; but with only two cases to work from I don't know if it is significant. Does anybody else have information?

Best wishes, pol098
