Another fix is to connect to the machines you want to work on one at a time, set the display size and click Save connection info as... It will create a .VNC file that can be executed to bring up a VNC session by typing VNCViewer.EXE /config file.VNC It will pop up the client once logged in and it will have all the display setting you selected earlier. You can even save the password in this .VNC file such that next time you want to connect it will automatically login and everything.

I am completely new to this type of thing so please bear with me. I already have VNC on my SuSE 7.3 box, and have accessed it via IE5 from my win2k pro workstation and vice-versa, so far so good & VERY slick! This covers about 90% of my needs. I downloaded VNC for windows and installed it (server and viewer) on my win2k box, so now I can access my linux machine from the viewer as well as a browser, I just keep the viewer executable on a network drive so I can access it when I get on our LAN via the internet/citrix server, this way I can get to my linux and windows machines at my desk and run them remotely. My questions are: #1 - My windows machine is on a 21" screen so I use 1280 X 1024, when I access this from my linux machine or any other machine the display is such that I'm always scrolling to do anything. Can I configure the vnc server on th windows machine or the viewer on the client to have it all fit in a window, or even in full view? #2 - Becuase I live in the "sticks" so to speak, I am limited to dialup, but I'd still like to access my home machine from work from time to time when it's online, I was tossing the idea of using netmeeting to do this, but since I've used VNC I'd much prefer that, and I can access it from my linux box then. Can this be done?, if so, how? thanks! Glen Stromquist Database Administrator Alberta Pacific Forest Industries Inc.
