Anyone seen this problem; the monitor

            will lock up for minutes or more at a time when viewing the
            seismic computer
            

            screen data (on the basement computer). The seismic computer
            seems to do its
            

            job and collects seismic data and displays it OK.  All the
            data is stored and
            

            retrievable. All other computer monitors display is
            hesitant. WinSDR Replay and
            

            Winquake manipulations are slow. If the monitor screen is
            right clicked
            

            (upstairs computers)  it will immediately catch up. I
            removed all data over two
            

            weeks old from the main drive of the seismic computer, (75
            GB hard drive with
            

            55 GB of free space running XP @ 2.5 GHz with  1.5 GB of ram
            on board). I run a
            

            small network (all computers running XP are at least as fast
            as the one
            

            collecting seismic data; one is running Windows 7).  All
            computers behave the
            

            same way and are connected using cable and VNC. The seismic
            computer is never
            

            accessed by more than one computer at a time. Screen display
            is 94 lines and
            

            redraw 40....screen resolution is 1290x1024 at 32 bit
            color....the monitor on
            

            the basement computer collecting the seismic data seems to
            have normal/correct
            

            display with no tardiness. VNC was recently updated
            

          
          

          Hi Thomas,
          

          

          You might have better luck using the client/server modes in
          WinSDR rather
          

          than using VNC.
          

          

          On the seismic computer enable server mode:
          

          

              Settings -> System -> Server/Client -> Server
          -> Enable
          

          

          On the other computers run WinSDR and enable Client mode:
          

          

              Settings -> System -> Server/Client -> Client
          -> Enable
          

          

          And enter the IP address of the seismic computer.
          

          

          This uses a tiny fraction of the network bandwidth which VNC
          requires, and
          

          places a similar fraction of load on the seismic machine.
          

          

          Mark
          

          I appreciated your email. I did what you told me and it worked
          fine. I had to
          

          shut down everything the other night (but the seismic
          computer). When I
          

          restarted the computer, WinSDR client didn't seem to work. I
          have reinstalled
          

          everything at least four times. I can't figure out what I did
          wrong. I even
          

          dug up the original email. Got any suggestions?
          

        
      
      

      Hi Thomas,
      

      

      What did you do before what didn't happen ?
      

      A slow deteriation in speed was noticed
          over the last year.

      Were there any error messages ? What did they say ?
      

      None

      You might want to check that the IP addresses haven't changed.
      

      I use static IP addresses instead of
          floating

      Then you could try pinging the other machine's address from a
      command prompt.
      

      This I didn't try yet but will get my son
          on it soon

      If the IP addresses are changing on you, you might want to
      configure the machines with static addresses, or give them
      permanent addresses in the DHCP settings in your router.
      

      

      All the best,

      Mark & Larry,

    
    It seems you were both right. Larry
        suggested a plug issue. I found one. Mark, you suggested VNC was
        very band hoggy. My kids had given me a 16 gig router with wifi
        .... so that they had access to internet when they were
        here....4 kids, wives and 8 grandkids get demanding. But this
        unit did not have enough cable accesses. ( all my computers are
        connected by cable --- an attempt to avoid RF infiltration from
        amateur radio equipment) . I
        upgraded to a 1 gig router and now I am back to normal. Thanks

    

    By the way, I still don't have WinSDR
        working as a client.
