Re: VNC & AVI files

2003-04-02 Thread Robert A. Book
That's exactly right -- so if an AVI player works by directly addressing the video card, it will not work under VNC. When you run the AVI player directly on the server's monitor, you see the movie directly via the video card, bypassing the usual screen buffer. When you run the AVI player under VN

Duncan, If I understand your question correctly, you want to make sure data in between your two computers goes through only your hub, and not over the rest of the internet. If that's right -- I'd be VERY surprised if that was not the case already. One way you can check this is to open up an MS-D

Better yet, if you can convince the root user to install it, there is an RPM on the Red Hat Linux CD, and it is also available from http://rpmfind.net/ (search on the word "screen"). --Robert A.

2002-11-04 Thread Robert A. Book
Bob, Sorry for the late response. Forgive me if I am misunderstanding the question, but I thought this was how VNC was supposed to work. When the viewer disconnects, the server session remains active -- the display is retained, programs keep running etc. I use this all the time... from the offi

Hello, I've been happily running TightVNC 1.2.3 on Red Hat 7.2 (server) with windows and Linux viewers. I "upgraded" to 1.2.5 using the Red Hat RPM (rpm -Uvh), and now vncserver doesn't work. I get the following error: xauth: creating new authority file add xauth: (argv):1: unknown c

Re: VNC cannot do reverse lookup?

2002-08-10 Thread Robert A. Book
I'm not sure how to fix the underlying problem, but you can work around it with an SSH tunnel, if VNC will accept a connection from "localhost". Suppose VNC is running on display :1 on vncserver.mydomain.com. This corresponds to port 5801. From machine3.mydomain.com, run: ssh -L 5802:vnc
