Per Michael's suggestion, I downloaded and install VNC. I connected once to the server on my Windows machine and it was slow, the screen was HUGE, but it worked. I could navigate and do what I needed. However, as soon as I disconnected I lost something. Each time I try to connect it tells me it doesn't like my passwd. I've reset that passwd like 15 times now! Still can't reconnect. I've then set up a server on my Linux box, and have then connected to it via Windows. But it gives me a TWM X connection. Why doesn't it display my current X connection which lately has been KDE? I don't much see a point in using it from Windows to Linux if I can't see what I would see if I were sitting at that machine. Does anybody have any insight on those two problems? At the end of the day it doesn't matter honestly. I have KVM switch on my desk (Which I highly recommend for people with multiple machines in one office.) so I can just switch over to the other machine with only two key strokes. But it would be pretty kewl to just look to another desktop and find out what Windoze did wrong that time to create that sound an error message makes. Thanks for the suggestion and any further help. tdh T.
