Hi Jerry, Thanks for your reply! I did try SuSE's version of VNC as well as RealVNC, and in fact, I have the same problems (I can use it's viewer to view my XP desktop, but I cannot connect to it from my XP box). Any ideas why that wouldn't work? I'm not too impressed with the documentation I found on it in the help docs for SuSE, and I really didn't know how to troubleshoot it after not finding it there. I assume it is probably the same reason that RealVNC can't be used to connect to it either. As I'm new, I'm trying to figure out how to know if SuSE is running a firewall and, if so, how to enable those ports. I'd think that there'd be a way through SuSE's VNC (I'm using KDE, by the way) to do it, but I can't seem to find anything. Any more suggestions from you or anybody would be welcome...

Being a SUSE fan myself, I can help here... First off, did you know that SUSE already had VNC installed on your machine? Albeit, the tightvnc version... Also SUSE went through a lot of trouble to set vnc up for you. They prepared vnc as a "Terminal Server" (this allows you to run multiple desktops at the same time.) They prepared vnc in XWindows to allow you to see the current screen on the the actual monitor (ala windows version). They prepared a Remote desktop sharing setup to allow you to request help from friends, via email, chat.... Each of these are already installed, setup, and can be configured from the GUI. Unless you really know what your doing, (or want to learn) I would suggest you stick to the SUSE prepared services, after all, you bought the distribution to avoid messing with all these nasty little configuration details, right? ;) Jerry Westrick. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
