RE: YAQ Setting up vncviewer
Thanks John. I didn't know there was an iptables file on the ps3. Duhh. I found it, and ip6tables, now I have to fix it. Is the port 5901 tcp or udp? So the command should be something like -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p xcp -mxcp --dport 5901 -j ACCEPT ? Where x is t or u ?

True. It also is what some users need/enjoy/prefer... By "quite stable" I meant how relatively rarely things are broken seriously enough, given the release is officially labeled as unstable.

I normally tunnel my vnc connections through ssh vncviewer -via laptop localhost:1 allows me to access my laptop from my desktop without opening any extra firewall holes.
