Louis> I just did that and it did not ask for a screen Id. It only asked for a password. I can't paste the output >From the cgiwin/XFREE86 Linux machine. But I saw this New 'X' Desktop is : linuxhost.linux:1 I then went to my Windows master 2000 and started VNC there. For the VNC Server I entered : linuxhost.linux:1 It started thinking and then I get an error message "Failed to get server address. Did you type the host name correctly?" . I then tried the following: IP_address_of_Linux:1 And this one actually worked. It asked me for a password for session. I entered what I entered from the Linux machine. It went in and opened an xterm. I thought that it would show the Linux graphical login screen, and once logged in it would take me to the graphical display I see when I logged in from the Linux machine itself. This seems different to the way cgiwin/XFREE86 works. But I'm sure it has it's advantages. Now how do I kill this session. Does just getting out from Windows kill this session, or I have to do something at the Linux machine. Anyway I still need some feedback how to get "Tetraterm" working with between Windows 2000 master and the Linux slave. That way I can decide what I want for my live server. >> >> > >> > Also how do I do these fancy X forwarding stuff with VNC ? >> >> I didn't have to do much fiddling with it to get it >> working...
