auto-reconnect for the viewer

Post by badbob001 »

Sometimes the connection becomes unstable momentarily and I would be disconnected from my VNC session. It would be nice to have a checkbox option in the viewer that will make it reconnect to the server if the session drops or somehow doesn't respond for x number of seconds.

I found this version of vnc, called win2vnc, that has a reconnect option, but it's designed to use multiple pc's to simulate multiple monitors for a single pc.

I agree, autoreconnect would be nice.

I'd like that, if the machine is disconnected, a dialog would appear that says "Reconnecting", would try for a while, and if unable to reconnect, would keep trying every few seconds. This way, if you reboot a machine, it'd connect once it came back up again.
