Is it possible your sysadmin gave a script to start and stop vncserver on unix? Then is it possible that an other unix user at the same machien uses the vncserver? Then the port is occupied by an other vncserver and you cannot get in. Check for processes with the name Xvnc. If the above somehow is true, best to ask for a setup like http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp . THen you don't have to worry on starting the vncserver, it is started for you as soon as you connect (and it stops as soon as vncviewer stops) CBee _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
