Have you got the name of the machine you want to connect to set up in your PC's hosts file?
Try opening a DOS window and then enter 'ping dpsanter2' - if you get no reply then you need to add the IP address of dpsanter2 into your hosts file, which is located in... Windows 98, me - windows\hosts Win2K - winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts WinXP - windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts use notepad or similar to edit hosts The entry should look like 192.168.1.10 dpsanter2 Put whatever you have chosen as the IP number for dpsanter2 where I have entered 192.168.1.10 Good luck Ceri Hankey ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Hutchins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 18, 2003 8:15 PM Subject: RE: Getting started > Not sure of the terms you mentioned, > below is what I get on the unix side when I start, > so I'm using "dpsanter2:1" > > > $ vncserver > > New 'IBM RISC - dpsanter2' desktop is dpsanter2:1 > > p.s.
