Hi,

 

I'm having problems connecting with VNC between a Windows-XP desktop (as the
viewer) and a Linux Fedora Core 4 laptop (as the server).

I've read through the documentation and searched the VNC discussion list.

 

The error message I get on my desktop is:

 

Unable to resolve host by name: The requested name is valid and was found in
the database, but it does not have the correct associated data

Being resolved for. (11004)

 

Notes:

 

1) I started the VNC server on the Linux laptop by typing in the following
command:

            > vncserver

   And received the following results:

            New 'localhost.localdomain:1 (mark)' desktop is
localhost.localdomain:1

   Which leads me to believe the server was started

 

2) I started the VNC viewer on the Windows-XP desktop by using the following
menus/pulldowns:

            Start > All Programs > RealVNC > VNC Viewer 4 > Run VNC Viewer

    And filled in the Server field in the GUI with 

            localhost.localdomain:1

    To which the error message above (Unable to resolve...) was displayed.

 

I am able to ping 192.168.0.106 (which is the Linux laptop's IP address). I
am also able to ftp from the Windows-XP desktop to the Linux laptop.

 

What am I missing here? 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Mark
