I'm able to open display. Now getting connection timed out (10060) when I go out my firewall to the gateways' external IP.
I tried these additional chains in my iptables but no improvement. iptables -A FORWARD -s 0/0 -p tcp --dport 5900:5900 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -s 0/0 -p tcp --sport 5900:5900 -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --destination-port 5901 -j ACCEPT I think the gateway may be doing the blocking rather than MY firewall. So VNC Viewer works using the gateways internal IP, but not its external. They may have more strict rules for the external IP. What commands can I use to tshoot this? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Hooper Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2006 7:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: unable to open display Robert Van Overmeiren wrote: [snip] > Since I can log into the gateway from a gnome client (Fedora), and > invoke a remote vncviewer successfully, but when I log into the gateway > from a cygwin client (XP) and invoke the remote vncviewer, I get 'unable > to open display', So it sounds like you problem is with cygwin, not VNC. Perhaps you will have better luck on a cygwin list? Have you started the cygwin X server? -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
