I'm forwarding this to the list because I've not the time to look at every UML user issue, and especially not now. I hope someone else can help you.
---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: RE: [uml-devel] UML remote GUI problems Date: Thursday 03 February 2005 20:24 From: Greg Furlong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Blaisorblade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have sshd running on the Linux machine and then i tried to run port forwarding through putty on port 5900. I then ran the command export DISPLAY=host-ip. I then used tightVNC to connect to the ip address that i had assigned while setting up the port forwarding. I keep getting an error Failed to server address. Did you type the address correctly.
