Daniel, With Novell Suse 10 and Gnome desktop, I have to go into Yast as root, and then down to Services, and into Remote Administration to allow VNC access. Next, in your Display Properties, I also have to allow VNC. In remote administration it prompts to open the port on your local machine for VNC access. Thanks for the suggestions. I had already opened VNC access in YaST, but had not known about the Display Properties setting. I made sure of both this time, and rebooted, but no joy. VNC just stone doesn't work. My clients on both the XP and the iMac just trundle for a couple of minutes, then report "Server not found". I'm talking about accessing from machine son my own local net here. I haven't tried getting in from outside my router/firewall yet. I'll keep experimenting! --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
