How do I fix my VNC setup?

1

I am using Real VNC Viewer on Mac OSX 10.6 and Tight VNC Server on Windows XP.

This setup was working. I have not changed any settings to cause it not to work. But now I am not receiving screen updates to the VNC viewer. If I am controlling my Server from my Viewer in the same room. I can see that I am moving the mouse and sending mouse-clicks. But I am not receiving screen updates to the Viewer.

I have a VNC viewer on my iPhone. If I use it to connect to my Server, it works fine. So I figure the problem is with my VNC Viewer. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but to no avail. I do not know if there are any preferences that are being saved even with the uninstall?

Any ideas or points in the right direction.

Why not test with the VNC viewer that is build into the Mac OS X?

Try --> Connect to Server --> vnc://IP ADDRESS

Now, I don't use it to connect to VNC, but to other Macintoshes, but I suspect that it will work with normal VNC servers...
