Hi,
I suggest you add to the box the package ssh, which is a metapackage for
the ssh server and ssh client.
Then test if you can use ssh to connect to the box in question.
========
End gobbledy gook linux commands.
as a user on the box you are setting up to run headless, do
sudo apt-get install ssh
Ok.. From the instructions you have followed, you already have ssh
installed on your media box.
Similar command on a different linux box, or install a ssh client on a
windows box.
You should now be able to open a terminal on the remote box and establish
a ssh (secure shell) connection to the box you are running headless. This
verifies that the network interface is established and running.
===
Now reboot the box you are setting up as headless.
From earlier reports, you said that you could not do vnc to it. ok.
Can you use ssh to connect to the box you are settng up as headless?
If not, then the box does not have an active network interface, and the
problem is not vnc.
Derek.

Hi Eliot,
After a reboot, I can get a command line via putty, I just can't VNC.

Can you clarify. Is the problem not getting a commandline via putty,
or not being able to get a vnc connection until you have logged in to
your desktop?
