Did you set tightvnc up to use port 5900 as well?

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.

Regards

So far I have set up a server
and now have users logging on from a terminal. They use a COW file so as
not to corrupt the file system. Next I want to investigate and test the
capabilities of User Mode Linux over a network using a Graphical User
Interface. The problem that I am having is that I am finding it difficult
to set up the GUI system.

I was wondering if anybody could give me some
pointers in the right direction

Without knowing which are your difficulties? It's difficult.

or could tell me of a tutorial on how to
set it up.

I have already looked at the user mode Linux
website on sourceforge but have been unable to successfully complete the
GUI instructions.

What's the problem?

You must install Xnest inside your guest system... it will then be able to
forward connection to another X system (on which you have to authorize TCP
connections from the UML system). Then it should work, more or less.

On windows? well, there are also Xservers on Windows (the cygwin one for instance)... -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade
