Hello,
I am a Linux novice and entirely new to Linux admin. I have installed Fedora
core 3.0 onto a machine that I would like to connect to, via VNC, from my
Windows (XP) platform, but have so far been unsuccessful.
I have successfully installed and run vncserver on the Linux machine.
Netstat -al shows that the vnc ports are open and listening when vncserver
is running. I have changed the firewall settings to allow the vnc tcp ports,
and I confirmed this in iptables:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5901 -j
ACCEPT
However, I am still unable to connect to the Linux machine. From Vnc viewer
in XP, I recieve an error massage "Unable to connect to host: connection
timed out (10060)."
I also tried to connect the Linux machine to itself using vncviewer and I
get a similar message: " unable to connect to host: no route to host (113)."
I suspect that I need to do something with the network settings. For
example, from the Linux computer I can ping other computers on the network,
but this computer cannot be pinged by other computers or itself:
Mon Jun 13 12:28:41 2005
main: unable to connect to host: No route to host (113)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ping ichabod
PING ichabod.whrc.org (199.92.170.34) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 199.92.170.121 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From 199.92.170.121 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
[....and so on]
--- ichabod.whrc.org ping statistics ---
23 packets transmitted, 0 received, +15 errors, 100% packet loss, time
22001ms
I don't know what to do, or even what to look for, to address this problem.
Any help or advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Claire
