Just to expand on that: you're very unlikely to be able to fix a *network*
problem by tinkering with the *application*

An application like VNC makes use of TCP, which in turn makes use of IP.
It's perfectly entitled to send whatever data it likes; it relies on TCP to
take care of sequencing and retransmission, and IP to take care of datagram
delivery.

It sounds to me like there's a problem with datagram delivery, so the place
to investigate is at the network layer, not the application.

Regards,

Brian.
