RE: VNC Service?

[John A. <JAl...@co...>]

Uninstall and reinstall. We've had that problem with NT4 here and the only
solution I've found is uninstall/reinstall. That fixes it for awhile, then
you have to do it again.

OK, after further inspection, it seems that the service part *IS*
working, but when the remote computer is sitting at the Windows logon
screen, it acts the same way as if the workstation is locked.  Unless
a user is logged in, and the workstation is NOT locked, I am unable
to connect.  It asks me for the session password at the VNC
Authentication window, but when I type in the correct password (I've
tried it many, many times, so I know I must have typed it correct at
least one time), I get an error message stating that VNC
authentication failed.  Any idea what would cause this?

Thanks for your help!
Matt
