Still not working.. It's been a week. This is frustrating Here is where I am at:
on the Desktop I click to run X11VNC Allow the default port 5900 to stay I do not click "Enable SSL" because I do not want encryption. I click "OK" and the next screen shows up in the GUI configuation. I click X Show instructions and X Accept Connections The dialog box shows "X11VNC has failed to start .... Maybe there is another VNC server listening on port 5900..... (There isn't) I then looked into the $dmesg | tail Here is the last thing it spits out libphy 4a10100.mdio.00 Link is - 100/FULL Ipv6 ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth 0 Link becomes ready. I have looked at the router. I initially changed the IP address to XXX.XXX.1.100 but the router config still claimed it was XXX.XXX.1.70 I have no idea why that was I then changed the Static IP to XXX.XXX.1.70 and enable VNC connections STILL NO LUCK. What the heck is going on Anything else ask I'll give just help me get this working Thanks Bill On Sunday, December 6, 2015 at 7:29:06 PM UTC-6, Bill Dussault wrote: > > Greetings, > > I am trying to install X11VNC and log into it via my laptop and I am > having some tough luck > > Here is what I have done.......... > > I have changed my IP address to a 192.168.1.XX > My router for some reason still thinks it is the old IP address even when > I refresh it. > > I have turned on VNC on the firewall on my 2wire router > > Next I installed VNC: > > - Debian: sudo apt-get install x11vnc > > 3.
