Oh no, the dreaded VNC issue again...! :)) VNC has never worked on these machines. As you'll remember Stephen, these machines' have a mind of their own most days. VNC generates X server problems all the time here. I would LOVE to be able to open an X VNC window from the main box to any other box on the lan but so far haven't had any luck. regards magnet
