1. I need vnc access from windows XP. Can't seem to get a connection with the tightvnc client. I get the feeling the culprit lies elsewhere though since I can't ping the linux box either. The hostname resolves and samba is up and running fine but no ping or vnc.
It's a Mandrake 10 box, and no the firewall is not blocking since I didn't install it yet.
You say the hostname resolved as if you're running name serving or the
systems are located on different networks. What exactly is the topolgy
here? Where are these systems in relation to each other? That would help
focus the solution.
by hostname I meant I could ping based on the windows computer name and it would find the right ip address.
