Turns out that I was running Xvnc from /usr/dist/exe instead of /usr/local/bin where vncserver is installed. There was a conflict which was slowing everything down. I changed my path so that /usr/local/bin was listed before /usr/dist/exe and everything is working great! Thanks for your help! Rachel :) James Weatherall wrote:
Rachel, It just sounds like what you're seeing is the effects of your home network connection being very slow compared to your LAN. In particular, the up-link of the server-side LAN to the Internet is probably of the order of 256Kbps, while your LAN will be approximately 400 times faster. Links as slow as 64 or even 33Kbps can support usable VNC sessions, but it does depend on what you're doing - highly graphical intensive applications will fare less well over very slow links than office productivity applications such as word-processors or mail user agents.

I actually tried viewing it on a windows box at work (also on the same network), and it was a lot of faster! So, it must be something wrong with my configuration at home :( James Weatherall wrote: Rachel, Is the Solaris viewer that you're using on the same network as the server?

I have Comcast broadband at home and both computers are at least 1.7Ghz or higher. I can open up a viewer on another Solaris box without any slow response times. Why is my viewer slow on windows but not on Solaris? Thanks!
