John, >> vncviewer -geometry 1440x1062 -passwd zzzzz <ipaddr>::4918:19 </dev/null & and that worked.
I think the ':19' after the port is immaterial. Try connecting to "<ipaddr>::4918:abcd" or even "<ipaddr>::4918abcd"; it works. It makes sense because you cannot have more than 1 display listening on a single port (the second Xvnc will complain that it cannot bind to the given port) unless using inetd. -siva. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Lumby Sent: Friday, October 20, 2006 4:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: RE: setting server rfb port to non-default - on the vncviewer James Weatherall wrote >John, > >No, you don't - the syntax you are specifying to your VNC Viewer >(host::port:display) is not valid.

I hate to argue with someone who has a realvnc email but my recent experience is in direct contracdiction of what you have written: 1). I started my vncserver with options vncserver :19 -geometry 1440x1062 -name xxxxx -rfbport 4918 (I can explain why but not relevant) Here is the Xvnc process: Xvnc :19 -desktop xxxxxx ... -geometry 1440x1062 ... -rfbwait 120000 -rfbauth yyyy -rfbport 5919 -fp ... -rfbport 4918 NB the two -rfbport options. - the first (I assume) always specified, and the second from my vncserver option. And to show which one took precedence: .... here is netstat output to show which port it actually is listening on: netstat -an | egrep -e "4918|5919" tcp4 0 0 *.4918 *.* LISTEN tcp4 0 0 <ipaddr>.4918 <other_ipaddr>.34849 ESTABLISHED 2) and now here is the command I used on my workstation to connect : vncviewer -geometry 1440x1062 -passwd zzzzz <ipaddr>::4918:19 </dev/null & and that worked. Does that convince you? If not - try it!
