Your problem is simply this : http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/faq.html#q16 and for fixing this ... http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/faq.html#q21 Worked for me at least. But honestly speaking the X server itself is sufficient for what you need. All you want is to be able to access your linux desktop on your windows machine, remotely. So just use a windows based x-client. Like I mention earlier, I liked the the xmanager from www.xmanager.com You can download the fully functional evaluation from here ... http://download.com.com/3000-2340-6128455.html?legacy=cnet All you need to do after install is click on xstart and fill in the host name as well as username/password for the linux system. It will open up a terminal window for you. Once in it, just type : /usr/bin/X11/xterm -ls -display (Substitute window machine's IP here):0 or replace the 0 with 1 etc...in case you are already running a X session on the linux server itself. Just type gnomexmms to fire up a gnome desktop on the windows machine. That is all Works like a charm. Regards, Abhi _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
