Using vnc-4.0-x86_win32_viewer.exe on W2000, attempting connection to Red Hat 8 out of the box newbie. This was installed on the W2000 machine by unzipping vnc-4.0-x86_win32_viewer.zip I received the password prompt and then a patterned gray screen, so I assume I have acquired a connection to the Red Hat machine because the title bar indicates whomever's X desktop(localhost.localdomain:1) The VNC Connection Info indicates the expected Desktop Name Host Size Pixel Format Service default: matched Pixel format Request encoding: hextile Last used encoding: hextile Line speed estimate: 20000 kbits/s Protocol Version: 3.3 Security Method: VncAuth So, why the patterned gray screen? The Red Hat machine is logged in Gnome. Only oddity to my knowledge is that the User field in the password prompt was grayed. Similar results using vnc-3.3.7-x86_win32_viewer.exe
This is a home lan using a Linksys router. Using Cygwin I can at least telnet to the Red Hat machine as another user, root or otherwise. I had expected to see the current desktop of the Red Hat machine instead a gray fullscreen with a thick black X for the cursor. Something I did not read? thanks _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
