Thanks, Rob was right it wasn't a big problem. I had installed the GUI correctly but it wasn't working with Putty all I could get was a CLI. I had to hook KVM directly to use GUI on the server. I might have been able to reinstall Putty and gotten it working but I uninstalled Putty. I enabled VMC (Remote Desktop) on the server and plan to access the server with Tight VMC remotely from my network and outside the network. My other issue that I think needs to be solved first is with settings for a static route to the server. I like the idea of using 2 Ethernet connections for security with the server in between the Internet and the network. I'd like to have a static IP for a web site on this server and an IP for the tunnel to access the server for remote administration. I'm still working on this by trial and error. I'm unsure of the best course but who isn't. Thanks, Joe F. In a message dated 6/18/2009 6:06:24 A.M.

I haven't played with putty lately, but with "ssh -X" on ubuntu, the DISPLAY variable is set to the ssh tunnel it creates. I was thinking putty has the same behavior. Googling the error seems to suggest it's not a major issue. > #2 process for setting up static IP from > registrar>gateway>router>server.

If it's just routing, it's possible to use just one with a multi-homed card. But it's easier with two. > > Thanks, see you at the meeting. > > > Joe F. > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > Download the AOL Classifieds Toolbar for local deals at your > fingertips. > _______________________________________________ > Fwlug mailing list > [email protected] > http://fortwaynelug.org/mailman/listinfo/fwlug_fortwaynelug.org _______________________________________________ Fwlug mailing list [email protected] http://fortwaynelug.org/mailman/listinfo/fwlug_fortwaynelug.org **************Shop Popular Dell Laptops now starting at $349!
