Hi Ceri
I did exactly as you told..but when I tried to
run vncviewer.exe on my computer
it asks for the Server Name :xxx.xxx.xxx.x
and then it says Failed to connect to server.
I don`t know what to do?
Suggest something if you have time please...
Thanks
Nishant

Hi,
To get windows VNC to 'see' your linux machine...
1) Ensure that windows knows about your Linux machine - put an entry into
hosts on the windows machine that points to the Linux system eg..
#Addr full name alias1 alias2
192.168.1.1 linuxsys.domain.name linux LINUX
192.168.1.2 windows.domain.name windows WINDOWS
2) See if you can ping the Linux system from windows MS-DOS command
prompt
3) on Linux system, enter the command vncserver :1, if you have not run
vncserver before, it will
ask you for a password, and the confirm it. NB you should do this as
anything but ROOT or SU.
4) on Windows system run vncviewer and enter the system:screennum
(linux:1) and then the password.
It should all work. It does for me!
PS I ensure that vncserver is running on the linux system by starting
vncserver :1 from /etc/bashrc using the following code...
# start vncserver if user is NOT post(master) or post(gres) AND
# if Xvnc is not found in list of tasks
#
if ! echo $USER | grep post ; then
if ! ps -A | grep Xvnc ; then
if ls $HOME/.vnc/$HOSTNAME*.* | grep : ; then
echo Removing old VNC server files...
rm -f $HOME/.vnc/$HOSTNAME*.*
fi
echo Starting VNCServer on screen :1 ...
vncserver :1
fi
fi
NB if the system crashes, you get left with a file /tmp/.X11-unix/X1, which
has to be destroyed manually before the above code will work again. But the
login dialog tells you that (if you log in in traditional text mode and not
X - under X I do not know what happens!)
