Check your options; enable the one that will let you share the connections.

On your Server you will see the VNC server ICON in the taskbar.

Right click on the icon and select Sharing -> 'Always treat new
connections as shared'.

Best regards,
Jim

If nothing else helps read the manual. It works for Tim Allen and it
should work for you.

RE: Problem can you help [In reply to]

No joke, I just hate pointless sarcasm. If a rookie asks a question that's
easy to find in the manual, then be courteous and tell them where the manual
is found. He didn't come here to be embarrassed.

Re: Problem can you help [In reply to]

Here is the server manual http://realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/winvnc.html

You will never know anything if you never read the manual or FAQ. The
reason people write manuals so that other people read them. If someone
says "I read the manual and did not find my answer there", I would
certainly try to answer if I know the answer. If you look at this
mailing list over time, majority of questions are on how to configure
router to connect from outside or something else that has been discussed
and documented to death.

Alex

It's true that it should be handsome to point rookies to the manual with
an effective pointer.

On the other hand, the rookie found the software and the maillist,
she/he should be able to find the manual too.

In the end, I frequently see rookies (and others) with the manual in one
hand, the tool in the other hand complaining that it does not work or
asking how it works...

Point taken and understood, maybe it's the teacher in me, but I've found
that as soon as you get sarcastic or demeaning in your instructions, the
learning process ends. It's always better to be polite and friendly.
Sarcasm and demeaning comments may feed the inner child, but serves no other
purpose productive or otherwise.
I also think this thread has probably run its course and I for one
have made my last comment on it.

RE: Problem can you help [In reply to]

Most problems can be solved without help lists like this one. Sometimes
questions come from people who have been working for hours or days on
making a system work and they are really drained and hope for a little
help from us. Maybe he searched for "connection dropped" and other stuff
and didn't find what he was looking for. The key term is "shared" --
that's what he needed to hear. He also needed the clue that the server
has to be configured for sharing, not just the client.

We all read documentation and so we know that you can't just read and
memorize the entire thing. You also cannot always find what you are
looking for in the documentation. It is often a matter of getting a clue
about a good search term, which is what the list provided in this case.

Re: Problem can you help [In reply to]

Mike - often times what you describe happens. Result - topic cannot be
found.

Wouldn't it be nice to start a "wikidot" which gives more information
on topics, can be added to and submitted.

Many times manuals tell us what something "is" (definition) and HOW it
works.

What manuals do not tell us is WHAT the process is to make something
work and the RESULT expected outcome of the processes. So while we
read and understand what it is; we are left not learning how to do it.

Get over this you guys.
If someone is too sensitive to take the RTFM advice, they should grow up.

Period.
The is a SW mailing list, not a therapy channel.
