I installed TightVNC. It worked well for the other pc's, but not for the wifi laptops. It asked for a password which I didn't know. I filled in the password for the user of the laptop but that didn't work. I uninstalled it. I installed UltraVNC. It didn't work. It is asking for a password. Onve again I filled in the password for the user of the laptop but that didn't work. I installed a password in the server, but filling this in in the viewer didn't work as well. So I unstalled this as well. So - I haven't got a clue. Fokke
