Sure, no go. Running it from a terminal window: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tim]$ vncviewer VNC viewer version 3.3.7 - built Feb 28 2003 18:58:10 That pops up a little 'serverDial' window to enter an IP such as 66.140.87.26. So I do, hit enter and nothing happens. Note that the entry box now appears to empty, but if I scroll back in it, the IP # I entered is actually still there. Now if I add a display number, as 66.140.87.26:0 (which the docs say is not necessary when connecting to a Win host), then in the terminal I get the result: vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused If I use the name of the host, for example 'snoopy' in place of an IP #, it returns: Couldn't convert 'snoopy' to host address Unable to connect to VNC server I use the IP for pcAnywhere and of course can ping it no problem. Everything seems fine, it just doesn't work. I figured it must've had to do with VNC host displaying 10.1.1.11, which obviously would not work. Guess that's not it. Thanks for the reply.
