On the linux enter "vncviewer <ip of xp machine>:0" in a commandline enter the password of the VNC server installation, and Voila! you got the XP desktop on your linux machine....
The other way around has much more options as linux is a multiuser system. But try the following on your linux machine: start->Control Panel->Internet & Networking->Desktop Sharing->Access There you: Click "Allow uninvited connections", Unclick "Confirm uninvited...", Click "Allow univited connections to controll the desktop" enter a password and Click "Apply"
Then on XP do Start->Programs->Real Vnc->VncViewer->Run VncViewer enter <Linux IP>:0 type password and Viola! you got the linux desktop in a window....
I'm sure you'll be back for more....
Till then, Happy Remoting....

Jerry, I'm coming to you via vncviewer on my XP machine through my suse machine. Pretty cool!!! A bit slow, but... very nice! 2 Questions: -about desktop sharing in Yast - Invitations are timed - how can I allow untimed invitations? -when connecting to SuSE from XP, the invitation has to be accepted on the SuSE machine or it will not go through, even though the settings in vnc viewer do not require it. Is it because the user is logged on? How can I change that requirement? Bernd
