Client OS: W95 , and NT4WS

Got VNC up and running fine.
Saved connection info into a .vnc file.

However , I can't use this .vnc file to automatically connect&logon.
error msg: "Invalid VNC server specified"

What am I missing??
fwiw , here's the contents of my .vnc file

[connection]

sorry, no answer, but I have the same problem in windows 2000. I do have it
working with Windows 98. After setting up the relationships in win2k, the
viewer is being started, but with the "Invalid Server" error message. If I
make a shortcut to the viewer that starts the saved .vnc file, it does work,
but wtiting that many shortcuts is not practical on our network. I didn't
see anything in the documentation. Any suggestions?

If you are running winXX, you can use the VNC Connector program to easily
manage multiple .vnc files.

You can get VNC Connector at http://cardtable.sourceforge.net/tcltk .

Put this executable and your .vnc files in the same directory, then launch
the executable.
Be sure to run the Select Viewer before trying to connect, and select your
appropriate vncviewer.exe file.

NOTE: This program uses the name of the .vnc file to populate its listbox,
so name it something recognizable.
For instance, I have:
ArcApps01 1024x768x24.vnc and ArcWeb01 1024x768x24.vnc
which show up in the listbox as:
ArcApps01 1024x768x24
ArcDbs01 1024x768x24

The base program should work for *nix also, but I would have to wrap it for
each platform, unless Tcl/Tk is available on your system.

This program was hacked together by me for internal use, so I don't promise
it to be bug-free, but it works fine for me.

Let me know if you have any problems at ***@hotmail.com
