Re: Proper forum suggestion?
Sorry for the misunderstanding, Konstantin, I should have indicated in the email that I waited 3 weeks after sending the first email. Earlier today, other members explained that there might have been a glitch that would prevent members from seeing some emails sent before June 16. I resent my initial question and got many helpful suggestions that I will try. As to your advice to purchase a support contract, Linux Community webpage says about its mailing lists: "If you need help, ask. If you can help, please do so respectfully." Right now, I am asking people for help on this list. When/if I will know as much as they do, I hope to be able to help other list members. That's what the list is about, right?

Re: Help connecting to VNC server
Hi, I believe that the problem is not with your configuration, but with your IPtables settings. You need to open up some ports which by default are currently blocked. I believe they are in the 5900 range. You can try a simple experiment. Turn off iptables; try to connect to your Linux machine, and see if the problem goes away. I believe that it will. Look at the man pages for VNC and see which port(s) to open in the IPtables config. Hope this helps. regards, Andrew Andrew Komornicki Department of Chemistry Stanford University On 6/26/2017 12:04 PM, Stan Orlov wrote: > Greetings - this is my first post :) > > I have a brand new SL 6.9 running in a virtual machine on a VMware server.

Re: Help connecting to VNC server
Hi, download/install nmap for windows and scan your SL 6.9 box and see if the VNC server port is visible to your client. If you log on the SL box, you can check, if the vnc runs eg by: netstat -tulpn | grep -i vnc -- *Karel Lang* *Unix/Linux Administration* l...@afd.cz | +420 731 13 40 40 AUFEER DESIGN, s.r.o. | www.aufeerdesign.cz On 06/26/2017 09:04 PM, Stan Orlov wrote: Greetings - this is my first post :) I have a brand new SL 6.9 running in a virtual machine on a VMware server.

I ran into a problem with VNC and posted to this list, but nobody replied to it. Hmm. According to the headers as I received them, your original message was received by the list server at Mon, 26 Jun 2017 14:04:35 -0500 and the message to which I am replying at Mon, 26 Jun 2017 13:00:31 -0500 - over an hour *earlier*. You complained that no-one had replied before many of our mailboxes will have received your question. Given that we are spread around the world and have other things to do, I always allow at least 24 hours before I start thinking that no-one has replied. I am stuck and really hope to find guidance online. Can anyone suggest a list/forum that would be better suited for such questions?

Re: Help connecting to VNC server
I assume you started the VNC server, and connected to the same display with the viewer? Is the SL system running a firewall? Can you ssh to the SL system?

Re: Proper forum suggestion?
I just did a quick look in my un-deleted emails, and didn’t find your question. However, per Bonnie on the SL team, there was a problem with the list where not all messages were getting sent to the list. If your question was asked prior to June 16, you may want to resend.
