Ok I was finally able to connect to the Solaris machine but now I am in fact seeing what was earlier stated in the previous posts I found...a grey screen that is not the desktop from my sun box. I have attached a screen shot of what I'm seeing. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?
I checked the permissions to /tmp/.X11-unix per the thread below from the list and it appears as if this is not the problem. Archive Thread related to the same question: "I think it is that you have patched solaris. Then the folder /tmp/.X11-unix is write protected. You can try to change the permissions for this folder or change user for Xvnc to root and=20 set the suid (chmod 4555) on Xvnc" Thanks again for any help you can offer, Michael Tallhamer Medical Physicist Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers -----Original Message----- From: Tallhamer, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 3:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Problems connecting Winows XP -> spac-solaris I am new to RealVNC and have found it to be absolutely great for accessing clinical sites from remote locations. I have only been using it to connect from PC -> PC and now have a clinical application for accessing one of our Sun boxes. I have installed the vnc-4_1_1-sparc-solaris.pkg on the sun box and all appears to work ok on the Sun box side of things as far as starting up the vncserver and setting the password. However, I get a connection refused error when trying to connect to the Sun box from my laptop running Windows XP. I have searched the list hopping to avoid bothering you all with newbie questions only to find two relevant messages and both I appear to have done. I can't seem to access the PC from the Sun and/or vice versa. I could live without the Sun to PC connection but the PC to Sun connection is a must for what I would lie to accomplish clinically. One interesting thing I found is that the vncserver starts the hostname:1 instead of hostname:0 which from my searching seams to cause another set of issues relating to getting a grey screen upon successful connection. If someone could help me out in getting this set up and straightened out these issues I would greatly appreciate it.
