Chicken of the VNC.

The server (Windows XP) ends up seen a plain old 3.

What am I doing wrong? (Besides using XP...)

Also, while we're on the same subject, I'm on a local 100Mbps network and
the screen update rate is sometimes pathetically slow, often leaving
detritus around the place. (Mac, PC and switch support 100Mbps, and the Mac
and PC are the only devices on the network). The PC server side is from
www.realvnc.com, currently using free edition 4.1.1

How would I know which side of the connection is playing up?

They aren't, the lan just can't keep up with the video rate if using
millions of colours etc.

I'm assuming it doesn't send the whole screen for every update - just the
bits which change, right? I can't believe a 100 base LAN isn't quick
enough......??


One way if you are controlling a PC is actually use Remote Desktop
Connection from MS themselves, it is actually rather bloody good, allows
you to reduce the number of colours to 256 (which makes things a damn
sight easier) as well as allowing you to reduce the screen resolution.
Nobody can sit watching the mouse etc being moved around though which
may or may not be a bid thing depending on your use...

Hmmm. First, 256 colours is appalling! How did we ever cope?! I think it's
better than VNC, however I'm using Visual Studio and the editor window has
an annoying habit of refreshing every 2 or 3 seconds. Reminds me of the days
about 10 years ago when processors and graphics cards weren't quick enough
to give us a flicker-free experience!

I'm not sure which one I like better....
