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
