SP6 also stops VNC[1] from working unless run with administrator privileges. The error message is something like "error disabling Nagle's algorithm". This is apparently a result of a _tightening_ of security in the TCP/IP code.
If you have already installed SP6, you can work around the problem by replacing the file AFD.SYS (Ancillary Function Driver for Winsock) with the version that comes with SP5. No sideeffects here. However, I do not recommend installing SP6, until an official fix is released. Regards... Fabian
