UltraVNC Authentication Fails

I am new at using UltraVNC. I like what I see and it will definately solve some of what ails me. My issue is I get a VNC Authentication failed message between some computers. I can go to another computer and connect to the same computer and I get in.

Does anyone have any ideas?

there is a register entry for sending passwords in clear text
that could be why

CPU A: has UltraVNC server installed and running
CPU B: cannot connect to CPU A and gets a VNC Authentication failed message
CPU C: can connect to CPU A using the same password.

CPU B can ping CPU A.

CPU A: Has VNC server registered as a service
CPU B: Has VNC server registered as a service
CPU C: Has VNC server registered as a service

CPU A can view and control CPU B and C.
CPU C can view and control CPU A and B.
CPU B can view and control CPU C.
CPU B can 'see' CPU A. CPU A issues the screen asking for the password. User on CPU B enters the password. CPU A issues a 'VNC Authentication failed' message.

I uninstalled UltraVNC from CPU B. I reinstalled on CPU B. Now CPU B is working correctly to all computers.

Thanks for your help!
