The only thing I can think is -alwaysshared may be disabled, try restarting
the server with this options and reconnect. Other than that I don't know.

thanks, i'll try that.

the tightVNC server provides a "advanced" configuration dialog that allows
the setting of "connection priority" (corresponds to ConnectPriority
registry key) to either "disconnect existing connections" (current),
"automatic shared sessions", or "refuse concurrent connections". should i
adjust this setting?

btw, it turns out that if i leave the machine running the server logged into
a winxp session, than i am able to establish a vnc connection/session
without any problems.

Mike...

I've noticed the same problems when running TightVNC v1.2.3 on Win2K and
WinXP machines. At the risk of getting shot by Mr. Kaplinsky, try
uninstalling TightVNC 1.2.3 and revert to version 1.2.2, if it's still
available. That has seemed to eliminate the connection problems for us
here.

i'm running tightVNC as a service on winxp. my machine is behind a
firewall, which i have configured to forward the appropriate ports for vnc.
when i attempt to connect to my vnc server from other machines, using
vncviewer, i get the authentication dialog, like normal, but immediately
after sending the password, a dialog stating "Connection Closed" pops up.
however, i can connect to the server from the machine actually running the
server (loopback connections enabled). it doesn't seem to matter whether or
not i leave the machine logged in to a winxp session or not. any help is
appreciated.

no it isn't. but i can't even bring up the winxp login screen. the vnc
session closes as soon as it begins.

Hmm, I don't think there might be a difference in behaviour between
1.2.2 and 1.2.3 in regards to this aspect. I cannot imagine how mouse
wheel support could break things like that. ;-)

In any case, I plan to dig into these "connection closed" issues as I
see a lot of reports on the subject. I don't think the next version
will close all the issues, but I'll try to implement better logging
which might help to understand reasons for the troubles.

With Best Wishes,
Constantin

Constantin, better logging would be a great addition in general anyway (as if I
needed to tell you that).

Hello Mike,

is there any screensaver running with active password protection? If so, try
to switch password protection off.

i'm running tightVNC as a service on winxp. my machine is behind a
firewall, which i have configured to forward the appropriate ports for vnc.
when i attempt to connect to my vnc server from other machines, using
vncviewer, i get the authentication dialog, like normal, but immediately
after sending the password, a dialog stating "Connection Closed" pops up.
however, i can connect to the server from the machine actually running the
server (loopback connections enabled). it doesn't seem to matter whether or
not i leave the machine logged in to a winxp session or not. any help is
appreciated.

Thank you John, what do you mean exactly with "go into Windows Security
controls"? Sorry but I don't know win7 very well... if you could find a
way to be more precise I would really appreciate it.

By the time, I'll give a try with tightVNC, thank you Claudio.

Best regards,
Andrea

I personally use TigerVNC here and am very happy with it both on Windows
(XP) and Linux (Fedora 14.) As for the "Windows Security" stuff...that's
under Control Panel. Not very familiar with Windows Vista and Windows 7 as
Microsoft has moved everything around and changed what it's all called, but
in the Control Panel there should be some sort of "security settings." As
previously mentioned, it may simply be an incompatibility between Windows 7
and RealVNC.
