I should have also mentioned that I used :2 so it doesn't interfere with :1
session.
And, when connecting from the windows computer, use IP_ADDRESS:2 to connect
to SLES system if you started the server as :2.
Also, are you using the ip address of the SLES system, or the hostname.
Maybe the hostname isn't in the windows hosts file.

Then your best bet is to kill it right away using this: vncserver -kill :2 Then go into the hidden .vnc directory in the home directory of the user you started the vncserver with. Then edit the file "xstartup" and change the last line containing "twm &" to "kde &" or the name of whatever xwindow manager you're using. Unless you want to use twm, but you're very limited with twm. Then restart the server using: vncserver :2 Then connect from your windows computer. -- Chris Geske LIMS Manager Northern Lake Service, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Matt T.

Is there a firewall between u and the host? Can you telnet to that port?

I am trying to work with Oracle Support on an installation issue, but their collaboration conferencing won't connect to a Linux system. So my goal is to present the console via a VNC type interface on my Windoze client so we can work through the TAR. On my SLES box I have VNC installed, I have enabled remote administration, I have restarted the server. There should be nothing there that prevents access (a port access issue maybe???). On my XP box, I have Real VNC installed - it works accessing other windows boxes. I tried using VNC to access the SLES server using SERVER:5801 and received a connection timeout error. I also tried a browser (Firefox and Mozilla) using http://server:5901 and got the same error message. Am I missing something in the configuration??? Has anyone else made this work?
