Hi

I have just installed tightvnc 2.8.85 on two Windows computers, one running
Windows 10 and the other Windows 11.

I have not problem using Server on the Windows 11 computer and Viewer on the
Windows 10 computer, but I can't get it to work the other way round.

If I try to use Viewer on the Windows 11 computer and select the target
computer I can enter a password but it immediately goes to a window saying "
Connection has been gracefully closed".

Here is the Viewer logfile from the Windows 11 computer:

Is the error with the Security type? How do I change this?

I'm not familiar enough with the protocol to understand this, so I'd be very
grateful if anyone could advise.
