Subject: RE: Cannot connect to the VNC server
When I try 'telnet <ip address of the vncserver> 5800', I get no reply
back. I could ping the machine, but when I try to telnet, it just goes to a
blank screen and does nothing. There is no firewall involved.
When I try to connect to the server through the vncviewer, it just times
out. There is no response at all.
Would this information help to narrow down the problem??
Thanks,
Dilash.K

Some things to have a look:
Does the machine respond to it's ip address? Can you ping it? Can you
see a share on it from an other machine? Does it repot the proper ip address
on the proper port? (I have a machine with 2 ethernet addresses: one for the
server room network and one for the external connection. This causes some
problems if you don't configure all parts properly) Try ipconfig, ifconfig,
winipcfg or other tool to check the actual configuration on the machine.
Correct this yourself.
Is there some firewalling that can cause trouble? Fix this yourself.
Try telnet to the vnc port: `telnet vncserver 5800`. You should get a
line of text with 'rfb' in it.
How long does it take for the vncviewer to say it has some troubles? Is
it an immediate response or can it be on a time-out? Immediate responses
indicate a running server which does not allow you to connect.
Success CBee.
