Hi John - yes I was able to telnet to 192.168.1.101 on port 5901 and I got the RFB prompt.
my hosts.allow file contains 192.168.1.* there is nothing in hosts.deny here's another tidbit of info - I run the VNC viewer on the XP machine but it never prompts me for the password. But if I kill the vncserver process on the linux machine then a box comes up on the XP machine saying "the connection to 192.168.1.101 closed unexpectedly do you want to reconnect". so the windows box thinks it's connected but i don't see anything. perry John Aldrich wrote: > Perry: > Can you try to telnet to 192.168.1.101 on port 5901?
