Tell us how you made your setup work. Wow, it's been a while but, IIRC, the toughest part was getting the vncserver configured. /usr/bin/vncserver is a perl script that needs some work. You also have to run vncpasswd. Good documentation can be found at: http://www.tightvnc.com/docs.html Once you have the server script set up, do: $ vncserver that should return something like: $ vncserver New 'X' desktop is MRK.schroder.xxx:1 Starting applications specified in /home/ernie/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /home/ernie/.vnc/MRK.schroder.xxx:1.log $ cat .vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title $VNCDESKTOP Desktop startkde and the other Gen2 box: $ cat .vnc/xstartup #!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title $VNCDESKTOP Desktop wmaker If the server starts, from the client do: $ vncviewer A box will pop up and type in the IP or name of the server (in my case 192.168.1.3:1 a second box pops up asking for a password. Enter that and you're in. If you can't get the server configured, email off list and I'll send my /usr/bin/vncserver.

Re: [gentoo-user] Linux PCAnywhere client
There is no Linux PCA client AFAIK. Choices you have: 1) Install VNC server on the Windows machine and then you can use VNC client from Linux (that is what I do). 2) Install Windows somewhere where you can access it and run PCA client from there. 3) Install VNC server on a Windows machine that has PCA installed, use your VNC client from your Linux box to get into the first mentioned Windows box through VNC and go from there to the PCA-only Windows box using PCA client of the first mentioned Windows box (used that for some time, too). :-) Imre Andrew Gaffney wrote: Ernie Schroder wrote: On Saturday 07 February 2004 01:56 pm, Bill Roberts wrote: On 12:28 Sat 07 Feb , Andrew Gaffney wrote: Is there a Linux PCAnywhere client?

Re: [gentoo-user] Linux PCAnywhere client
to access a windows machine you can also try rdesktop.
