VNC Server and Linux Mandrake 7.1 Problems

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 20:19:45 -0700

Hello All!

I'm having a problem with VNC Server working on Mandrake 7.1  I've tried
installing from RPMs, the ATT binaries and source, and nothing seems to
work.

My problem is this:  When i start the vncserver program it loads up, but
when i connect to my server nothing is there (just a checker pattern)  The
log file shows this:

xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s

So What seems to be happening, is that Xlib isn't allowing connections to
happen from ns1.xlh.net (the name of my box, 24.221.33.28 is it's IP on the
net, and the one I will use to connect.)

I don't know why this would be happing, and I know that regular X runs fine.
The box itself has two eth addapters, eth0 (24.221.33.28) and eth1
(10.1.1.1) used for internet access and a internal network.

Any ideas on how to fix this?  Thanks!
