I do belive you need to open 5800 and 5801 for VNC. assuming you are using the VNC viewer and not the java client. 5800 is the control port (ie initiates the connection) 5801 is the port for display 1 5802 is the port for display 2 and so on and so forth. Personally I access the vnc clients on my machines from behind the firewall using PopTop VPN and using tightVNC for enhanced compression. works pretty good. Also if this box's "sole purpose" is to be a masq and or firewall box. then why do you need to use VNC at all. My linux firewall/masq box is all run and maintained using SSH. In fact the only reason it has X on it at all is cause I needed it to install UBERO distributed computing client on it. but I havn't used X windows since. hmmmm crap I just reread the orginal post. internal connections not external connections. i use the trinity firewall set (ipchains) also from David Ranch and I have no issues connecting to the private network side. maybe your VNC server isnt' bound to the right IP address? and you are trying to connect to the private IP address of the server (instead of the public IP) Sorry this message is kinda mashed. that's what I get for not reading the thread from the begining. -J Ward -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of raf Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 4:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Masq] IP Masq and VNC /* HINT: Search archives @ http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ before posting! /* ALSO: Don't quote this header.
