Heavy traffic machine - second ethernet port?

[James Weatherall]

Brian,

Unless the polling application running on the machine is very aggressive,
I'm surprised that it affects VNC in the way you describe - are you sure the
problem isn't to do with update capture performance or CPU load rather than
network throughput?

You could download a free trial of VNC Enterprise or Personal Edition from
http://www.realvnc.com/download.html, which give better performance than the
current Free Edition release, including making use of a mirror video driver.
You can safely upgrade to that, give it a try & downgrade to the Free
Edition if need be (although you may need to re-configure the Free Edition
server afterwards).

Hope that helps,
