Two things: 1) Either disable the XP firewall or allow VNC to pass through 2) Make sure the linux box doesn't have a firewall running to disallow connecting to it. You probably will be unable to connect your linux box to itself... This is to prevent the "hall of mirrors" effect. John -

Mark, I'm afraid I really don't understand your network setup! You have a NAT router, so you don't need a separate firewall, but you do have a separate firewall, but the things connected to it see also to be connected directly to the router and so the firewall isn't actually firewalling. I'm als

No. VNC does not do sound. Only Video, mouse and keyboard. There have been rumors of other "third-party" network sound utils, but I don't know of any myself. -Original Message- From: Frank [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 12, 2005 8:25 AM To: vnc-list@realvnc.com Subject: Quest
