Sorry to respond to my own postings, but I've been trying to get
connected.
I checked my Windoz Firewall and its not running:
Network Connection Properties > Advanced > Windoz Firewall > Settings
> Off
My home network goes through a WRT54G wireless switch which had firewall
enabled so I disabled.
Setup > Security > Firewall Protection > Disable
The switch connects to a Suse Linux 8 firewall which connects to the
cable modem. The Linux firewall may be causing the connection problem so
I tried 'iptables stop' which didn't work like with Fedora. I never
really put any rules on this firewall. The only thing it does is IP
Masquerade so hosts on my LAN can share my Internet IP. 'iptables -F'
flushes all rules, including IP Masquerade so doesn't really help. This
box runs a script (in /usr/sbin/) called rcgateway when it boots.
[excerpt from rcgateway]
IPTABLES=/usr/sbin/iptables
start)
echo -n "Starting NAT gateway"
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d !
192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
When I view 'Linux Firewall' in Webmin, it says I have this, but 'enable
firewall at boot time' is not checked.

I'm trying to figure out how to allow port 5900, while still having IP
Masquerade? I'm going to try an add ALLOW command.

Subject: RE: unable to open display
> What are the correct packages and commands for making this vncviewer
connection?
I VNC'd to my remote Fedora/Gnome workstation from my XP laptop by
logging into a Windoz NT terminal server, using putty to configure an
SSH port forward through a gateway server from my workstations VNC port
to the terminal server's port 5905. Once the connection is made, I use
VNC Viewer to connect to my workstation IP.
When I set this up with putty on my XP box (connects to gateway's
external IP), without going through the terminal server (connects to
gateway's Internal IP), and attempt to connect with VNC Viewer on my XP
box, I get the error 'unable to connect to host: Connection timed out
(10060)'.
When I telnet from gateway to workstation port 5900, connection is
refused. Telnet to port 5901 returns RFB 003.008.
Why does my connection time out?
Does VNC viewer need to be configured for port 5905?
Could some sort of Windoz XP firewall be blocking the connection?
Regards,
Bob V
