I must add that, depending on the VNC server installed on the windows box, listening mode might not work correctly. For example, I remember that, with both realvnc 4 and ultravnc on the server, the listening client on linux was not working. I had to use realvnc 3.3.7 both for the server (windows) and the client (linux). However, that was some time ago, and things hopefully have changed now. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Hmm tried it with vncviewer -listen from a Knoppix 5.0 DVD and could not connect from the remote MSWindows machine. It could well be incompatible versions I guess.
