I'm getting into this thread kinda late but from what I read, the open ports should not matter as he is only trying to access the VNC Server from his LAN, not from the inet.
I run VNC from a headless server to my workstations and here is what I do. # vncserver New 'X' desktop is server:1 Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /root/.vnc/server:1.log As you can see the once I start the vncserver binary it then goes ahead and fires up an X client for me. It fires up X based on the settings in my /root/.vnc/xstartup file which for me is pretty plain. #!/bin/sh xsetroot -solid black exec twm I simply then just use my VNC client to connect to my server (Don't forget to do the :1 or whatever after your servers IP.) and it goes right though. --Marcus --- Jim Hale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I decided to go ahead and activate the VNCServer service (RH 7.3) > in the > Service Configuration screen, It would only be accessed from my > local segment > anyway and the ports are blocked thru my firewall from the outside > world, but I > can't seem to connect to it from a Windows client. > > Is there anything else that I need to do to make it work? > > Thanks! > > Jim Hale > --- > Jim & Kathy's Website Collection > http://hale.dyndns.org > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------- > This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ > > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
