4) got it done. I didn't user the :13 as this was never asked for a Windoze session. The man pages didn't beat me over the head with that nugget of knowledge hard enough. I was thinking it would pick up the first available open session. Thanks!!!! --Bill Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4) when you run vncviewer from XP, you need to enter the host and desktop (i.e., ":13" in your example), and the provide the password from #3 when prompted. The port number is important. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Collins, Kevin [MindWorks] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2007 10:53 AM To: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (Tikanga) discussion mailing-list Subject: RE: [rhelv5-list] vncserver Hey Bill, a couple of things: 1) check for the Xvnc process running (that's the server) - it appears to be: ps -ef | grep Xvnc 2) you can also use lsof to check the open ports: lsof -P -i tcp:5813 -i tcp:5913 3) Typically, the first time you run vncserver, you will be prompted for a password - this is what is needed to connect with the vncviewer. You can change it with vncpasswd. 4) when you run vncviewer from XP, you need to enter the host and desktop (i.e., ":13" in your example), and the provide the password from #3 when prompted. The port number is important. In your telnet examples, you are connecting from and to the same box - can you telnet from your XP system to the linux system?

Didn't sleep in a Holiday Inn Express either. When I use my XP vnc viewer to attempt access, it says 'unable to connect to host: Connection refused(10061). I tried to launch vnc server on 5.0 and now on 5.1. To launch, I simply typed vncserver at a root # sign. I also tried vncserver :13. I have configured both 5.0 and 5.1 (two different systems with identical hardware installed this week) to turn off the firewall and to not use selinux per the installation dialog. On the first instance, the vncserver dialog asked me for a password. Apparently it liked it, since subsequent sessions did not ask. I ran nmap -v -sV (ip) **really cool command!** and didn't see the open ports, but then I tried to telnet into ports 5913 and 5813 and got the dialog that follows my sig line. This, coupled with the .log file (after my telnet commands below) are trying to hint that I did it right. Unfortunately, since it doesn't work, I did something wrong. The .log file shows it's unhappiness with my hand telnet sessions, but does not increase in size by even one byte when I appempt to connect from a real vnc viewer (free 4.1.1) from my XP system. My XP can connect to other XP systems that are running server. In searching the web, I see many instances of a firewall being in the way. On the 5.1 system, it has no firewall set up and is on my local lan. On the 5.0, it is about 80 miles away on a wide open T-1 line. I *think* I have that possibility covered. Please help me find the intuitively obvious thing that I missed, and how to do it! Thanks in advance!
