Is the DISPLAY variable set to localhost:0? Also, since you are telnetting from your laptop, you won't get the server or password dialogs. You either need to 1. disable the password on the (laptop) server 2. set up a password file using vncpasswd and refer to it with the -passwd option 3. or run the viewer in listen mode In cases 1 and 2 you need to enter the connect string (host:display#) on the command line. In case 3 you will initiate the connection from the server. Carlyle -- Diese E-Mail enthdlt vertrauliche und/oder rechtlich gesch|tzte Informationen.
