Re: [OT] Zone labs firewall or other
Hiya,
I have had similar problems with programs running with W2k and Terminal
Services. If a program decides that it is going to output to the main
console then none of the remote connections can access the popups that
occure.
The only way I have found around this is to use somthing like VNC
(www.realvnc.com) running as a service and connect into this with the
relavent client.
VNC gives you direct access to the main console ie the bit that displays on
the monitor, keyboard and mouse thats plugged into the machine. From there
you can get at messages etc that may be waiting for a responce...
The big limitation with this is you only have one main console to controll
so, although several machines can connect to it, what ever program that is
run is echoed to all.
You might find the best answer is using the two methods - at least untill
Zone Alarm has been 'tamed' :)
Hope this helps!
Wayne.
