Question : Problem: Real VNC on Vista produces some weird results

Bear with me, this is weird.....

I have three remote Windows 2003 servers, all running Real VNC 4.1.2. I have three workstations here, one Vista Ultimate, one Vista Home Premium, one XP Pro. I can connect to two of the servers fine, the third disconnects me with a "connection aborted (10053)" error message within a couple of seconds when using Vista. All VNC server settings are exactly the same. All three locations use a Linksys router configured similarly. All three machines here are on the same internet connection, using the same real world IP addresses. Here is a breakdown of what happens:

Vista Ult -> Server1 = OK
Vista Ult -> Server2 = OK
Vista Ult -> Server3 = Disconnects
Vista HP -> Server1 = OK
Vista HP -> Server2 = OK
Vista HP -> Server3 = Disconnects
XP Pro -> Server1 = OK
XP Pro -> Server2 = OK
XP Pro -> Server3 = OK
Vista Ult -> Server1 -> Server3 = OK

Any ideas?

Answer : Problem: Real VNC on Vista produces some weird results

Well I found the problem. Yesterday I noticed that the router would not take a uPNP route to a machine, so I replaced the Linksys RV042 router with a Linksys BERSF41 router. Low and behold I have been connected for 30 minutes from the Vista machine with no problems. Don't ask me why the router would disconnect Vista machines, I have no clue, but the problem is no longer there.

McKnife, if I just use the Ulta viewer it behaved exactly the same as using the Real VNC viewer (either free, or personal edition) in that it would disconnect within a couple of seconds with the error code of Read Connection Aborted 10053.
